Something strange with my categories

[Ludwig1]

Hi, guys!

Something really strange has happened to my categories.

Every category shows on the front-end but has disappeared on the back-end.

 

Why is it like this?

Now I can't add a new product in the missing category which is very strange.

Thank you for your help and support.

 

 

"I solved it by deactivate the missing category and activating it again and then it appeared in the category tree when editing or adding a new product."

Could you look at database level? phpmyadmin could be your friend, for example. Or ssh login to your server.

 

My first question:

If you would delete your smarty cache and probably other caches, are categories still appearing on the front end?

If no, this could point so some missing or bad data in the categories table.

 

Second guess:

You accidentially moved the category into another one. So it is still there but no longere where you search for it.
