    Have you defined products in the highest-level category (category ID = 0)?

    That's going to make it a bit more difficult, since you can't add categories to categories with existing products (hence my original question).

    I'll need to think on this a bit to give you a good solution.

    starting to get there, thanks for that, is there a way to add an existing category with all its products to a top category? it would actually be a lot of work to redo all my products to the new category, maybe I could do in attributes???

    A screenshot of your store's current Catalog->Categories/Products will help me formulate a solution for you.
