    Version 3.1.9
    (I think that's the latest?)
    I'm using a child theme.

    I also played around with putting the Categories code in a separate content box, but the same thing happens--2 columns.

    Wonder what would happen if I said 4 . . . ?!

    OK, just change

    PHP Code:
    <div id="directory" class="directory threeCol<?php if(get_option('cp_cat_dir_cols') == 3) echo 'three'?>Col">
    with

    PHP Code:
    <div id="directory" class="directory threeCol"
    Let's hope that works

    Well, it didn't work either!

    I'll post my entire code for the item--in case there's something in there that's blocking the command.

    PHP Code:
    <div class="shadowblock_out">
        
                        <div class="shadowblock">
                     
                     <h2 align="center"><font color="#336699">Find local pet resources in our Directory</font></h2>

    <center><p>Click on the <b>Categories</b> tab above to access the directory from any page on this site.</p></center>
                            <div id="directory" class="directory threeCol"> 


                                <?php echo cp_cat_menu_drop_down(get_option('cp_cat_dir_cols'), get_option('cp_dir_sub_num')); ?>


                                <div class="clr"></div>

                            </div><!--/directory-->

        
                        </div><!-- /shadowblock -->
        
                    </div><!-- /shadowblock_out -->

    I really do appreciate your time and help with this.
    I can actually live with the two columns--but now it's become like a puzzle to solve!

    ok, one major thing is to replace the old category function with the new one. Basically this is why I asked which version you're using:

    [LEFT]
    PHP Code:
     <?php echo cp_cat_menu_drop_down(get_option('cp_cat_dir_cols'), get_option('cp_dir_sub_num')); ?>
    [/LEFT]

    this should go now as this function is deprecated and should be replaced by:

    PHP Code:
    <?php echo cp_create_categories_list'dir' ); ?>
    Hopefully the puzzle is solved.

    Well, it still refuses to cooperate!

    Maybe this has something to do with my child theme being created before updating to the latest ClassiPress?

    Here is where I inserted the Q2W3 codes on my index.php:

    PHP Code:
    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class="content">

        <div class="content_botbg">

            <div class="content_res">

                <?php 
                    
    if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH '/featured.php') )
                        include_once(
    STYLESHEETPATH '/featured.php');
                    else
                        include_once(
    TEMPLATEPATH '/featured.php');
                
    ?>


            <!-- left block -->
            <div class="content_left">

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(1); ?>

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(2); ?>

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(3); ?>

                <?php if ( get_option('cp_home_layout') == 'directory' ) : ?>

                    <div class="shadowblock_out">

                        <div class="shadowblock">

                            <h2 class="dotted"><?php _e('Categories','appthemes')?></h2>

                            <div id="directory" class="directory threeCol<?php if(get_option('cp_cat_dir_cols') == 3) echo 'three'?>Col">


                                <?php echo cp_cat_menu_drop_down(get_option('cp_cat_dir_cols'), get_option('cp_dir_sub_num')); ?>


                                <div class="clr"></div>

                            </div><!--/directory-->
    Maybe I'll take a PHP course someday . . . (!)

    May be you didn't get my last message?

    Replace all that you pasted above with exactly this

    PHP Code:
    <?php get_header(); ?> 

    <div class="content"> 

        <div class="content_botbg"> 

            <div class="content_res"> 

                <?php  
                    
    if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH '/featured.php') ) 
                        include_once(
    STYLESHEETPATH '/featured.php'); 
                    else 
                        include_once(
    TEMPLATEPATH '/featured.php'); 
                
    ?> 


            <!-- left block --> 
            <div class="content_left"> 

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(1); ?> 

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(2); ?> 

    <?php if ( method_exists('q2w3_inc_manager''manual_inc') ) q2w3_inc_manager::manual_inc(3); ?> 

                <?php if ( get_option('cp_home_layout') == 'directory' ) : ?> 

                    <div class="shadowblock_out"> 

                        <div class="shadowblock"> 

                            <h2 class="dotted"><?php _e('Categories','appthemes')?></h2> 

                            <div id="directory" class="directory threeCol">
                                <?php echo cp_create_categories_list'dir' ); ?>

                                <div class="clr"></div>
                            </div><!--/directory-->
    Don't think it's anything to do with the code you inserted above the categories

    Well, I did that too, and it refused again to work.

    So I put the code back the way it was (so that I wouldn't upset the person too much who made my child theme).

    Anyhow, I told it to put it all in two columns, and that actually looks pretty good now--now that they're evenly distributed and not scrunched along the left. I'm happy enough!

    Again, I do appreciate the time you took to advise me. I learned a thing or two about code in the process, so I understand things a little better.

    Thanks again!

    OK, anyway, just want to point out that the function I mentioned in #14 is now deprecated, and should be replaced in all child themes for them to work in the future versions.

    All the best!!
