No "add category" button!?

[guimaraes]

This might sound a little bit noobish, but i can't find any option or button to add a category. I only see a button called add new article. Please help..

You're in the admin (www.yourcart.com/admin), you hover over Catalog, you click on Categories/Products, and there is no "new category" button?

That is correct there is no button to add category.
UPDATE: I can however use the url string
/categories.php?cPath=29&action=new_category and it goes to the add cetegory section.
Weird

You don't see this button at the bottom, center of the page?

Nope not there, it seems that the page isnt loading all the way but then I go into the sub cats and its not there either.

Have you entered any products?

[Wizzard308]

yes I have about 7,000 products that were imported. I may just do a fresh install and try this again since I havent launched the store yet

You cannot ADD a sub-category if products already exist in its parent, and I think what you have done is loaded all your products into category "top"... This will prevent you from creating any categories and sub-categories.

Did you use easy populate? If so, just change the STATUS of the products in your spreadsheet from 1 to 9 and run the TAB-DELIMITED txt file through easypop again. (STATUS = 9 will DELETE all products.)

Then, set up your categories, and (in your EP sheet) mirror the categories names and levels, before you reset STATUS to 1 and re-upload via EP. See my WIKI on Easy Populate.
