Product Master Category: ID# 0

For some reason, one of the products is showing: Product Master Category:ID# 0
when all the other products in the same category show:
Product Master Category:ID# 1 All Games
how and where do I change the category ID????

Thanks

Re: Product Master Category: ID# 0

NOTE: Be careful of using this if you have Linked Products as the first categories_id found will be used and this is not always the best solution ...

If you do not use Linked Products, then it works great ...

Also be sure to then run the Update Products Price Sorter, afterward ... :smile:

Re: Product Master Category: ID# 0

There is a dropdown list in the edit product details page and the product to categories linking page. This drop-down may have the correct master category in its list if it is a linked category, which you can select.
Otherwise, if using the Store Manager to reset all the Master Categories is a no-on as it would self-destruct your store (as it would mine with thousands of linked products), you'll have to manually correct the master_categories_id for that product in the products table in the database with phpMyAdmin.
