OMP 1.1.1.1 Unable to delete a category

Hi,

I’m unable to delete completely a category.
I deleted it from index.php/[press]/catalog/category/eletricidade
But it still remains in dropmenu “browse a category” and inside table categories.

Best regards,
Tarcisio

Hi @Tarcisio_Pereira,

Go to Settings > Press, find the Categories tab, and delete the category from there.

Hi @asmecher
I wrote it wrong.
I deleted from settings/press/categories tab and it still remains inside my database.
I can’t see it in settings/press/categories tab, but I can see in drop menu.
That is the problem.

My database:

Best regards.

Hi @Tarcisio_Pereira,

Hmm – when you delete it from Settings > Press > Categories, do you see any kind of error? Can you check your PHP error log to see if something appears there?

I tried to delete other items and I don’t see any errors in log.
I looked for any error in previous log and I’m unable to find anything related.

Can I just delete it from my database?
Why can I see it inside my database and I can’t see it in Settings > Press > Categories?
It’s bizarre.

Hey!
I can’t find category id 51, it’s parent.
That’s something I guess…

Hy @asmecher

I tested here.
When I delete the parent, the sub categories remain.
It’s already a traked bug? How can I solve my problem now, just delete it from database?

Best regards.

Hi,

I created a new category “DELETE” as a new parent and updated my database to the new parent ID.
Then I deleted sub categories and finally the parent.

Best Regards.

Hi @Tarcisio_Pereira,

Thanks – I’ve filed this for a fix in OMP 1.2.
