[SOLVED] Cannot Create New Items In Shop
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2014 7:17 am
So I am new and I am using OpenCart 2.0.0.0
I know how to do the install, no problem there.
However, at first I thought this would be a simple program and made the mistake of instantly removing all demo items and demo categories from the shop. Then found out when I went to add new categories and new items, that the shop will not show them at all and returns nothing at all in searches, not even the categories.
So I uninstalled everything and the database also, then tried all over again fresh with a new database.
This time I thought I would take things slow and see how the items worked, and try changing a few file names here and there till I got the hang of what I did wrong the first time. Then I noticed Categories MUST have Subcategories for the items to appear, so I was sure I would be fine this time and so I deleted all demo categories and all demo items, using only the freshly new categories and freshly new items I created.
BIG MISTAKE!!! Again, nothing shows in the shop and nothing returns in the search, not even the categories.
I took a look at the categories, and I can only suspect it's a Layout problem, but no matter what Layout I pick for the categories, none of them work.
Why is OpenCart so difficult to use? Why did it not come with step by step instructions on how to set up items in the shop? How do I fix this problem and get my items to show up in the shop?
Do I need to delete the entire shop and database a second time and reinstall everything again?
