[solved] Ghost category, can't delete it.

[Richieh]

Hi,

I seem to have a category that i can't delete. When I try, I get an error. See attached.

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks, Rich

Hi Rich, do you have a link to your site??

hello

 

if you know category ID - you can try to delete it right from database.

Have you got an access to some database manager like phpmyadmin ?

Only be careful, as it seems there are children hanging onto this category number (see breadcrumb path in jpg )

Check first if the category ID is not used as a parent for others! Ten you have to change those first and link them to another.

Thank you everyone for your reply. I did find a solution i think, I deleted the category "Airsoft Rifles" and the sub categories and then recreated them and re-linked the products. It seems to have worked. I will repost if it haunts me again.

Once again, Thank You

Rich
