Good morning,

I am trying to add a new HikaShop category to my main menu and keep getting the following error message:

The problem is that there IS no duplicate menu item. Not even in my menu Trash. I have looked everywhere on the
site to find the duplicate but it just isn't there.

Please help!

Best,

Leslie

Hi,

That error message is generated by the Joomla menu manager, not HikaShop. So I wouldn't be able to say much.
If Joomla says that there already is a menu item with the same link, then either Jomla has a bug or there really is a menu item with that link.
Now I don't know how you've configured the menu item you're trying to add, nor all the links of all the menu items on your website, but I would first recommend to double check.
