No new category button

I just started using zen cart and have the newest version. I have added two products and it says that all my products are in the top category. I tried to set up a category "Choose Categories/Products from the drop down menu.Click the new category button."

There is no category button just a new product button.

How can I create categories?

Thanks for any help

Re: No new category button

Categories hold Categories or Products ... never both ...

Once a Product is added, the NEW CATEGORY button will disappear ...

Go to the Tools ... Install SQL Patches and run the command:

UPDATE products_to_categories SET categories_id =1;

Now, go to the Catalog ... Categories/Products ... and create a Category ...

In theory, when done, the Products will show up in the Category that you made ...

Now, go to the Tools ... Store Manager ... and run the Update Master Categories ... this will set those Products so that their Master Category is set to the Category you made ...
