Can't create new category

[TimS]

I'm a new user working with ZC 1.3.0. Under Catelog - Categories/Products, I find a button for creating a new product but can't find a method for creating a new category. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please note the caveat
Note: Subcategories can hold sub-subcategories or products, but not both at the same level.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. I'm just trying to create some categories for my products.

Kobra is saying that you can't have both subcategories and products inside a category.

Categories can contain either products or sub categories. Not both.

This all means ...

When a Product is added, the NEW CATEGORY button disappears ...

When a Category is added, the NEW PRODUCT button disappears ...

NOTE: if you "just started" ... why are you using that buggy, security risk, feature lacking version of v1.3.0?

i'm having the same problem.
i understand that the basic premise of zen cart is that you create a category, which then has either products or subcategories inside.
however, i have this problem:

http:// gusset.net/ shop

where i have only one product displayed.

if i follow the tutorial at: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=271 i should be able to go to:

admin>> catalog >>categories/products

and choose to create a new category.

there is no "new category" button.

so, what am i doing wrong, and where do i go/how do i manage to create a new category?

in admin, i also have an additional "WARNING: You have Products in the Top Level Category. This will cause pricing to not work properly in the Catalog. Products found: 1"
however, i can't delete the product in admin. can anyone suggest a workaround?
