Categories on DB but not on the Board ?

Question

hello

what can be the problem that made the categories not showing on the board front, but exist on the database table?

i export an install from localhost to a web server online and everything is working except the presentation of the categories on sidebar neither in Admin section.

recalc categories does not solve. where do i seek the root of this problem?

thanks!

Then you need to dig into the code. How familiar are you with writing/debugging PHP?

You should show the output of "show tables" from your database.

hello

sorry the late reply to this.

the problem was that when i made the export, the cell table of the main category id should be null and there was not. somehow was filled with a zero. that leads to neither that appears on index front end, nor the sub-categories of that, because there are not any category with id zero.

at that time i don't notice that. only after a second look.

thanks to those that try to help on this.
