How to reactivate categories?

[piku]

Hello everybody!

 

For some reason at the moment beyond me, my backoffice (PS 1.6) shows me that I obviously have 3 deactivated categories. Which is basically all of the ones I really use.

 

I have no idea why they are deactivated, cause it seems that noone has actively pushed any buttons here - but I really need to reactivate them now.

 

On the "categories"-page in the backoffice ("catalog"-menu) I cannot see the deactivated categories nor do I see any way to show a list of these nor any way to change their status or to edit them otherwise...

 

So, please, can anyone tell me how to reactivate the deactivated categories? 

 

Thx a lot,

piku

It's odd they won't show up in the bo, it sounds like the parent id is corrupted.

I see no other way but doing it from the database directly, ps_category table. Set active back to 1, and if it still doesn't work, check the parent id to be the root category (or at least the correct one you had set)
