Roger Advanced Member 348 Posts	Posted - 10/28/2020 : 07:16:44 Just updated to 7.2.4 and now certain categories are showing "No products are currently available in this category." Any help? Thanks Roger
Roger Advanced Member 348 Posts	Posted - 10/28/2020 : 07:32:51 Seems to be only references to the category number that don't work. Roger
Roger Advanced Member 348 Posts	Posted - 10/28/2020 : 07:42:54 Nope, it can be any category reference, by name or id. Need help here. Roger

If you get a new copy of the updater and copy the incproducts.asp script to your site that should sort this out.

Vince Administrator 42983 Posts	Posted - 10/28/2020 : 09:39:08 Hi Roger I had a look and it seems that you have the system set to use the category name instead of the category ID by having this parameter in the includes.asp file... usecategoryname=TRUE But the categories that are now not working are using the category ID, such as... products.asp?cat=55 ...instead of the category name... products.asp?cat=My Category Name I've made a change so that these show again, but really the way to cure this would be to update your navigation menu to use the category name rather than the id. In the meantime I will get some code done so that in this case, the cart forwards from the category ID to the category name automatically with a redirect so Google knows the proper URL of the page.
