Categories disappeared when cleaning empty categories


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've redone my prestashop website in the past weekds and upgraded from 1.5.x to 1.6.0.11.

The categories hierachy has also been redone and basicly, when i deleted the old unused categories (to which produts were still linked but not as main category), almost all of the other categories vanished.

 

My structure was like this :

 

- Category 1

-- Subcategory 1

-- Subcategory 2

-- Subcategory 3

-- Old unused category 1

-- Old unused category 2

-- Old unused category 3

...

- Category 2

- Category 3

 

Even the categories 2 and 3 disapeared although they were in a parent category.

 

So my questions are :

- How the **** did that happen ?

- I have a backup of the database, how can i fix this without messing with other important stuff like new clients, orders etc ...

Can i simply resteore the ps_category_ tables ?

Am I really the only have having ever had this problem ?

I managed to restore my shop but the problem has not gone away.

Deleting my old categories, even after clearing old product associations still results in most of my products and active categories to vanish.
