Categories doesn't work

Michel · 2007-03-01 17:05:05

Hi,

I got a problem with my categories. If I want to create a category (image, link, article, file), the new category is written into the database, but it doesn’t appear on the category panel. I also cannot select a category when editing/creating an article. The second category also don’t work.

My textpattern version is 4.0.4. Do you need more info?

Oh, could it be a problem with an previous Wordpress Import?

Possible. What’s happened is that your categories table has become… “confused” – the categories are actually there, just not showing up.

If you can dump the txp_category table (from say, phpMyAdmin) data (don’t need the structure) I can fix it for you in a jiffy.

It’s probably due to inconsistencies in your category table. That could be caused by a buggy import script, or by something else that has modified the category table.

Double check that there are 4 categories with the name name='root', parent='', lft=1, one for each type (article, link, image, file).

This is my txp_category now (after deleting everything and editing it zem’s way): Screenshot of txp_category
And this is my textpattern table: Screenshot textpattern Table

Could the names categories in the textpattern cause the problem?

It’s because lft and rgt columns have zeros.

Oh, that’s my fault. I read lft has to be “”. Sorry.

So, I changed it to lft=“1” and its working! :D Thank you sooo much!
