Categories Issue

So you did not answer - - Did this ever work right and when???
I am back to Not believing anyone would manually enter 2500 products without checking to see that they were working.

So it either did work correctly - UNTIL???

Or these were not entered manually but upload by some other means.

Knowing how one got to where they are is important to determining how to correct

Hi Kobra,

It 'LOOKED' like it was working before I attempted to move to the main directory. At least the products where showing under the categories where they were posted.

The products were entered one at a time.

Post your current /includes/configure.php for the shop at the root

Obviate the DB details for security

Post it here or upload in main directory?

Post the contents without the DB credentials here

Use the # code tag

The config looks correct and moving dir's correctly would not cause what is being seen - - What else might have been added/altered?

The client entered inventory around the same time... that's about it. That's why I'm so dumbfounded. However, did you happen to check the main URL? Do you see the warning after warning there?

The client entered inventory around the same time
All 2500 items?
Before or after you moved it?
Before or after it quit working?

No, she entered # in stock and such and perhaps added a few products... the products were there when it seemed to be working fine.
