Hello

i have made a small mistake i think and i cant find a solution.



Have made KKSP design category and didnt parented to any other one, which means i have created a new root category.
But this wasnt my Idea to creat a new Root (KKSP Design)...

How can i remove this KKSP Design root category ? And have it as usual... Root-Products----

Any solution ?

|| getting messed now after pressing Rebuild...



Well, going deeper, how can i now fix this mess ?

It should be

Root
-Products
-Brushes
-Art Gel
+Acrylic Line
-Finish Gel
-Filer/Buffer
-Shellplate Sticker
-Books
-Video Training
-Brand
KKSP

Now i have messed it up completely ?!

//Edit

It should look like



//Edit
Fixed it with PhPmyadmin, i defined root back to parent ID to 0 and deleted KKSP Design Category ID/Table from the Database.
Rebuild it and all looks back how i wanted it.

Strange that you cant do this without phpmyadmin, and not directly in the backend.

Hi,

On my end when a create/edit a category and don't set any category in it, it goes directly under the root category, and not next to it.
So that case shouldn't happen. There must be a glitch somewhere which allowed you to arrive to that state but I don't know how.
Then, the rebuild button is there to help in such cases but it's not all mighty so in strange cases going in PHPMyAdmin is indeed the last resort method.
