Category problem after upgrading to 3.1
-
Efter the upgrade, empty categories which have subcategories dont work. If I check the category page in woocommerce backend it will list all categories until the first above mentioned catebory (empty which have a sub category). No more categories are listed after that. Also on product pages, only categories until the first “problem-category” are listed. Same problem in menu editing.
Hard links to empty categories with subcategories dont work.
Hard links to all other category pages works which means all still exists.Is this a known problem?

Sure. check below screenshots listing my categories.
It says I have 57 categories but only lists a few unitl the first “corrupt” category comes and after that no more are listed.
I believe I have two categories that does not work in some way. the reason I think so is because the link gives a 404. And I cant delete them since I can’t see them. Both have no products but holds subcategories.

Can I delete a category manually in the database? Maybe that will fix the problem. Will that screw up all subcategories?
First I would like to tell you that this might have been false alarm.
I checked the database and found that two categories was missing. All categories haveing those two categories as parent wasn’t listed because of that.
I fixed the problem by creating two new categories and assigning all categopries to these new ones directly in the database and the problems were solved.
Now I feel embarresed. Probably this was caused by a cleaning plugin I ran the other day about the time of the update. That cleaning plugin probably thought that empty categories could be deleted.
3.1 seems OK for me. Sorry!
