[SOLVED] Disabled catalog categories

[dragon_sa]

Prestashop 1.7.6.5

In the back office, how do you view and enable a category that has previously been disabled.

When we goto the Categories section under Catalog, it sows the number of disabled categories at the top with the image of a little switch, but this is just a image and not a link.

There seems to be no way to view any disabled categories and enable them again.

Any insight into this would be appreciated googling and searching this forum has come up blank.

If you go to the page you just mentioned, you see a list of Categories you have created. Behind each category, you have a checkmark, or across, you can click on that icon to enable or disable the category. If it's a subcategory, then you need to click on the magnifying glass under actions to expand the list.

Thank you for your reply, the category wasn't showing in the list at all, I discovered if i went to the drop down list on that page for displayed and selected no, and clicked search, it shows the disabled categories I couldn't find, I only had 6 categories all up so was baffled why I couldn't find it.

All fixed now thank you for your help
