Products not being assigned to categories after csv upload

[rbw]

Hi,

I am a new user and have been have been learning to use csv files to set up my store.  The Product file works fine, the Combination file works ok as well.  I am using version 1.6.0.14.

 

During my learning I accidentally added a couple of weird Categories, so I tried to format a Categories csv file to be able to repair the problem.  I tried to use csv update, selecting to delete the existing categories, but completely failed in rebuilding the Categories.  So I set up the categories and subcategories manually.

 

Now I am happy that the Categories and Subcategories are rebuilt - with the same names as previously - but now my Product file does not load properly.

 

I can see that Products have assigned their Category to the default category, but on the graphic screen there is no tick corresponding to the category on the graphic tree.

 

If I click on the associated category graphic to create a category (like I do when I manually set up a product) I get an error message that says "This product must be in the default category."

 

I am a little confused because the product csv seemed to work fine before I tried to repair the Categories file.  I have tried to rebuild the indices, but it does not seem to work.

 

Please help

Regards,  Robert

Hi,  I have given up on repairing the shop.  I reloaded the whole prestashop application onto the server and rebuilt the shop.  But this time did the catagories by hand.
