Post Categories Not Appearing 
Hi Bonnie,

Since the last update (I believe around Aug 15th), I cannot get any categories to appear. The site is: http://www.ldsep.net/store5/agora.cgi. In the manager, I have YES to show categories. (The categories display in both my other stores (informationanddesign.com and deckofaces.com.)

Can you please help?

It looks like you commented all that stuff out by improperly commenting it out...
You really should be very, very careful when commenting thing out.
In the header you have:
Code:
<!--table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="template_table_image_background"><tr><td width=390 height="73"-->


If you are going to comment out a feature, you should really do it more like this:
Code:
<!--
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="template_table_image_background"><tr><td width=390 height="73">
-->


Here's another that I found in the header:
Code:
<!--START Search Box-->
    <!--form method="post" action="agora.cgi">
        <div align="center"><span class="style14"><br>
    Search: </span>
      <input type="hidden" name="cart_id" value="%%cart_id%%">
      <input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="40">
      <input type="hidden" name="ppinc" value="search">
      <input type="submit" name="search_request_button" value="Go">
            <br><br>
       </div>
       </form-->

<!--END Search Box-->



Should be:
Code:
<!--
<!--START Search Box-->
    <form method="post" action="agora.cgi">
        <div align="center"><span class="style14"><br>
    Search: </span>
      <input type="hidden" name="cart_id" value="%%cart_id%%">
      <input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="40">
      <input type="hidden" name="ppinc" value="search">
      <input type="submit" name="search_request_button" value="Go">
            <br><br>
       </div>
       </form>

<!--END Search Box-->
-->


Again, Here:
Code:
<!--START Price Search-->
        <!--table width="160" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" class="template_mainbackground">
          <tr>
            <td  class="template_mainbackground"><span class="style6"><span class="style7">Search by Price</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="center"><br><form method="post" action="agora.cgi">
<span class="style6">Search Between:<br/><br/> <input type="hidden" name="cart_id" value="8948494.16485*-X2UG7">
$ <input type="text" name="query_price_low_range" size="5" maxlength="10">
<small> & </small>
<input type="text" name="query_price_high_range" size="5" maxlength="10"><br><br>
        <input type="hidden" name="ppinc" value="search">
        <input type="submit" name="search_request_button" value=" Search ">
    </span></form>
<br><br></div></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <br-->
<!--END Price Search-->

   <!--div id="ac_html_validator">
      <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" target="_new">
        <img src="http://www.ldsep.net/store5/html/images/valid-html401.png"
          alt="Valid HTML 4.01!" height="31" width="88"></a><br><br>
    </div-->


Should be:
Code:
<!--
<!--START Price Search-->
        <table width="160" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" class="template_mainbackground">
          <tr>
            <td  class="template_mainbackground"><span class="style6"><span class="style7">Search by Price</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="center"><br><form method="post" action="agora.cgi">
<span class="style6">Search Between:<br/><br/> <input type="hidden" name="cart_id" value="8948494.16485*-X2UG7">
$ <input type="text" name="query_price_low_range" size="5" maxlength="10">
<small> & </small>
<input type="text" name="query_price_high_range" size="5" maxlength="10"><br><br>
        <input type="hidden" name="ppinc" value="search">
        <input type="submit" name="search_request_button" value=" Search ">
    </span></form>
<br><br></div></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <br>
<!--END Price Search-->
-->

<!--
   <div id="ac_html_validator">
      <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" target="_new">
        <img src="http://www.ldsep.net/store5/html/images/valid-html401.png"
          alt="Valid HTML 4.01!" height="31" width="88"></a><br><br>
    </div>
-->


Remember HTML coding errors are the #1 reasons for display issues...

HTH!

Hi Bonnie,

OK, I reuploaded both the original header files so that there were no commented out sections in the HTML. Now, the Search, Search by Price, and Validator display, but no Category listings. I am at a loss. Sad

I will be using Agora for several more stores (I am a subcontractor, and my boss has assigned me these tasks).

Try going to the "store Templates - Header/Footer" manager and hit EVERY button in the manager.

HTH!

That's the last thing I did, alas, no luck. Any other suggestions?

It was just a matter of turning on the "Dispaly Categories" in the manager.

HTH!

some of those switches are new to v5 and still befuddle me from time to time. maybe should have an on/off screen in the manager. everything that you can toggle on and off goes there.

if i remember correctly the manager asks if you want to use subcats ... on or off. if you choose off then categories don't work either. so it's broken/mislabeled.

In the store manager - Store Templates - Header/Footer manager it has a setting for displaying or not displaying categories.
I went back to an install of 5.0.0.1 and it had the setting in that manager, too.

Although, I agree with Dan, any of the settings having to do with the Categories or SubCategories should probably all be put together.

HTH!
