Why i can't edit products at admin panel?

I can open admin/categories/products to edit the categories and sub-categories, but i can't open most of the sub-categores to edit the products.

What's more strange, some sub-categores can be opened but most of them not. Why?

What method did you use to add categories and products to the database? Did you use Easy Populate, by any chance? (A badly-configured EP upload file may force categories and products to exist at the same level, which is a no-no for zencart.)

The problem could be a myriad of things - including corrupted database tables / content and corrupted php code.

Working out where the problem lies starts with re-uploading the admin files to your server (backup first), over-writing all existing files (except configure.php - which should not overwrite as this file is named dist_configure.php in the software download).

If this fixes the problem, then duffy php was the cause.

If not, you have a database issue... Try running the repair database features - both in ZC Admin and on your host C-Panel.

Backup your dbase before you run repairs or start tinkering manually.

Hi, you arer right! I do use Easy populate.
The catalogs and products made by hands can be opened correctly.
So, how to solve this problem? I think it has nothing to do with admin files. And i did repair database features at ZC admin
But catalogs and products made by esay populate can't be opened.
Thanks!

DONE!

The only way to solve this problem is to build the catoriges and sub-catoriegs by hand, and then use easy populate!

I do not know why, but it really helps!
