This is a good one. I have spent a fair amount of time reading other threads but nothing that comes close.

I have a site which has allot of products on it and a new site which is I want to some of the products to. I copied the categories and all the products from the older site's database into the newer sites database via "MySQL admin" . The categories and all the product descriptions show up on the website but not on the admin side of the new site. I also can not change any of the descriptions. I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.9h because I want to use the Snap Affiliates program on my site and this older ver. of ZC plays real well with it.

On the older site I have
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database: MySQL 5.5.29

and on the newer site
Zen Cart 1.3.9h
Database: MySQL 5.0.96

Once I upload the pictures they are all fine, and I can direct to the new location on the new site and the file path stays in tact.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are there some tables I need to add from the old site to the new site to fix this, or is the two different versions of the database s the problem? All the tables loaded fine so I'm guessing they were the same.

Thx in advance
