@Tahirk What is on line 88?

Shouldn't it be

<?php wp_dropdown_categories(array('selected' => get_theme_mod('featured_top_left'), 'name' => $settings['featured_top_left'], 'orderby' => 'Name' , 'hierarchical' => 1, 'hide_empty' => '0' )); ?></p>

@tahirk Hmm. Try my suggestion above. If that doesn't work, keep the change but also try this:

<input type="text" name="<?php echo $settings['featured_top_left_num']; ?>" value="<?php echo get_theme_mod('featured_top_left_num'); ?>" size="5" />
