Unable To Delete Categories

[Papasmur]

Hello,

I am unable to delete categories in the back office and before I start tinkering with files uploaded on the server I might just aswell ask here.

When i select a category and deletes me, it just throws me in the main categories menu and does nothing when I check, if anything happened. I can enable and disable them without any problems, I am just unable to delete them.

Please help

Enable development mode to see if any errors appear when you try to delete a category.

Either I am stupid or no error message shows up

I might be doing something wrong, I don't think so though.

If it matters I tried doing it through filezilla and it changed from false to true for sure

If there's no error I don't have any idea what may cause this.

Try a hardcoded delete like this.

See the number id of one category that you want to delete, edit file YOUR_PRESTA/controllers/admin/AdminCategoriesController.php and at the beginning of __construct() function add:

$catdel = new Category(999);
$catdel->delete();

Make sure in the code above you replace 999 with the id of category you want to delete.

After that refresh the categories page and check if the category was deleted or not.

I don't want to be such a pain in the a**, but I am quite new to this and not sure how everything works.

I located the said file and found 2 parts with ''_construct'' and am not sure where should i paste the code.

In the first image you've posted add my code above $this->bootstrap = true;
