[Solved] Issue with categories block when cache enabled


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I recently removed some categories from my catalog, but FO still shows them, even with refresh and browser cache clearing. I have to uncheck the cache option from BO preformance tab, and then refresh the browser to have the changes displayed in FO. But as soon as I enable cache again, the changes are gone.

This is probably some really silly and easy thing to solve, but I have no clue.

I am using PS 1.4.2.5 on a Bluehost account (memcache installed and enabled).

Thank you very much for any help!

Best regards,

Dan

Hi Tomerg,

I deleted them from the catalog using the BO - no manual deleting.

It's really as soon as I use the cache option, it's back to the old categories block, even on computers I never accessed this website with before. So it definitely is some server-side thing, not client / browser cache issue.

I tried reseting the categories block, it did immediately move the block to it's default position in the FO, but it still did not show the updated categories.

The changes I made were to "promote" some sublevel 2 categories to sublevel 1, and to remove some sublevel 1 categories.

Have you tried turning it back on too? In my case the modifications were gone again when cache was put back on. So unless you plan on running the website with cache turned off all the time, the issue might still be there.

In my case upgrading to 1.4.3 did resolve this issue completely, now everything works fine, even with cache on "on".

Upgrading to the latest PS versions is fairly simple, and there is a detailed instruction list here: http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Installing_and_Updating_PrestaShop_software/#Update_PrestaShop

The most important thing is you really really really need to make a full backup (including your DB) first, I would not take any risks. It's a pain to do sometimes, but rather play safe than sorry.

A personal tip on upgrading: because FTP upload for so many files will take forever with the loads of file requests, what I do is to rename my old shop folder to foldername_OLD and uplaod the whole zip file, and extract it on the server, and then copy the files from my old shop folder to the new one, as in the WIKI instructions.

I don't know if there are any drawbacks of doing it that way, but for me it works fine, and saves me lots of time!
