can't assosicate products to other categories


Recommended Posts

Yes we have the same problem!!  PS 1.5.6.2 Fresh install.  The category tree is visible and functional under Categories.  I can create a new category and assign it within the category tree, and I can edit a category and change the category within the tree.


 


Under products I can filter by category.


 


I can also see the category tree on the front end navigation and it is functional for navigating the site through the category structure. 


 


However, when I go to edit a product, or add a new product, the associations tab does not show the category tree.  It only shows the home check box and the default drop down with the correct default category.  I can not change a product's category, nor can I assign any new product to anywhere else but home.


 


Until I press Save & Stay and then refresh, then voila! the category tree will appear on the associations page.  Now I can assign a new product or change an existing product. 


 


Please do not reply to go through and re-save all of my products because we have 48K of them - so not feasible. 


 


I have the rows in category_group and category_shop as suggested elsewhere.  I also have a very extensive category tree so resetting everything to have home as the parent isn't an option. 


 


Note that simply changing the date in the database so it 'appears' that the product was updated doesn't work either.  


 


What else in the Save & Stay action could be happening to correct the view of the category tree on the associations tab where I can fix it 'en masse'??? Any thoughts or help with this would be great as we do not want to go much further and risk more re-work if it can be fixed.  


 


Thanks in advance!  Jenny
