From the error message, it seems one of the modules created override/controllers/admin/AdminCategoriesController.php, which is causing the error. The file must not be passing the right parameters when creating the category tree structure on the form. If you edit the file, you should see a comment above the function with the name of the module that created the override. You can then contact the module's developer for support. You can rename the file to AdminCategoriesController.bad or something like that to prevent PrestaShop loading it until you're able to find a solution.

Hello

 

Thank you, yet again

 

The module is called

 

 

belvg_backgroundpages

 

it was one of the recommended modules (free)

 

as list on this page

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/233442-free-modules-list-only-valuable-and-proven-solutions-31032014/

 

In total we tested 4 of these - 3 were found not to work or function correctly with 1.6.1.6 (which included this module causing the problem) - and were put back to being unabled.

 

The belvg_backgroundpages module was deleted this moring and we now have full access to our catorgories.

 

The other module we added - was the zompin chat - which seems to be working correctly.

 

As a point of interest - we tried to send you a small donation ( also a week or so ago too) - via your web site link.   It seem its all in Dutch and only allows USD $ - as its in dutch could not see where to go directly to make a paypal to paypal payment - only via credit card.

 

PV me to assist on this.

 

cheers

Thank you for the donation.

 

Thank you also for letting me know about the problem with my website. It seems adding a Dutch-language PayPal button overwrote all the other languages too. I'll try to fix it now.

That post you linked to is from 2013, so many of those modules may be outdated and not compatible with the latest version of PrestaShop. I think it is best to install them in a test environment first before installing them on a live website.
