Creating a category doesn't work - no errors shown when saving

[Rollu]

Hi Guys, Hopefully someone can help me with this. I've installed PS 1.6.0.5, changed the theme etc. The next stage is to create proper categories and products. When I went to create one and went through the process putting in all mandatory stuff when I hit save I was brought back to the category list page but didn't see my new category I created. I only saw the one that was there by default (Woman). Tried to use the "Refresh list" button but no joy either 

 

I then tried to edit the above "Woman" category (just to remove some text etc. ) but that didn't work either and I didn't see any errors after I did all of the above. 

 

I've then tried to add a manufacturer and a supplier - both worked perfectly, Then went to create / modify a product under one of those default subcategories and that also worked. 

 

Any ideas why can't I create or modify categories and sub categories? With all the above that "Work" it is always showing "Creation successful" message in this greenish bar along with a Tick icon. That's the only difference between them. Trying to create a category just sends me back to the previous page where I've clicked "ADD NEW".

 

I have also disabled cache and all that other Smarty functionality. And didn't have issues with this when I was changing the theme.

 

Here's few things I noticed:

• Changing position (by dragging them) worked on 2 sub categories. Showed "Update Successful" when I did it and kept it after I came back to this page.
• After going into 2nd or 3rd level when I save it always go back to the Home category list.
• Deleting works - shows that message about reassigning products under it etc.
• Disabling doesn't work (when clicked on the icon) - it goes to this address: /admin7543/index.php&conf=5 and showes a 404 page on my site. But with "Bulk selection" action I was able to enable/disable them.

 

Thanks in advance

Maybe check with your provider if "mod_security" is still on. Let them turn it off. This sometimes interferes with this kind of actions.

 

 

My 2 cents,

Thanks Pascal. I've disabled it in .htaccess file for the domain I'm working on:

 

Added:

 

<IfModule mod_security.c>

SecFilterEngine Off

SecFilterScanPOST Off

</IfModule>

 

But that didn't help... Worth trying tough.
