[SOLVED] Some categories seem to have disappeared...

[anazmi]

Hello

 

Just yesterday all of a sudden some of my categories disappeared from the front end while still existing in the back end, and one of the major categories also seems to have disappeared out of nowhere from the back end as well.

 

This topic seems to have the same problem with the issue resolved:

 

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/269252-solved-all-categories-disappeared/

 

Apparently it has something to do with the hosting site and not with prestashop but if someone can advise me as to exactly what needs to be done it would be very helpful.

 

I tried doing the error reporting as in the stickied post but nothing seems to be showing up, not sure if I'm doing it wrong.

 

edit: So in the database at ps_category one of the categories had their parent category changed somehow. I put it back to normal and it's showing up correctly again.
