Hi,
During my search through all of the categories to remove the hyphens in the category names I started to notice towards the last few that the sub categories after being edited for the hyphens were showing up as top level categories and not sub categories. In one instance I noticed it was of a similar problem to the hyphen issue but with "&" for some reason that category got called "30" instead of /wsn/somerset-&-avon/ and after changing the "&" to "and" the category was then wsn/somerset-and-avon/ and not /wsn/30. Ok no problems, I could get my head around that with little problem, just a matter of moving the wrong now top level categories back into the main category where they should be.
And then, I can't select the correct category to move them to in the drop down menu in the admin area.
If you look at http://www.accommodation-uk.net/wsn/suggest.php?a... the category selector only goes as far as worcester and does not list any of the Worcester sub categories and if you look at the category selector at the bottom of the page it only goes as far as the Shetland Isles and its sub categories. In the admin menu version it also only goes as far as the Shetland Isles also.

Ampersand rewriting wasn't introduced until the 4.1 series, so anything with an ampersand falls back to numeric rewriting.
does not list any of the Worcester sub categories
Then what are these?
Maybe you're talking about sub-sub or sub-sub-sub... the levels of the category selector are set at Admin -> Settings -> General. You may have too many to list though and would then need to switch off the selector.

Yeah, you are right! That was a bad example!! I should have pointed you to the category selector at the bottom of that page as that represents what I see in the admin the last one is Shetland Isles > Ulsta>
I just checked to see if there is any reason that it has > after Ulsta (a typo or something but I can't see anything wrong with it)

Paul, any ideas with this category selector problem? I just found another main category with an illegal character (a "/" in the text) and hoped that might fix the problem after regenerating, but it actually got worse - the selector (and the selector I see in admin) actually shows less categories now!

The image says your FTP info is incorrect. Correct it at admin -> settings -> system.
That's not related to the selector though. How many levels do you have set at admin -> settings -> general and how many total categrories do you have?

1358 is more than I would expect to work -- of course also more than I would expect a user to be willing to scroll through. I'd suggest switching off the selector.

I don't mind switching it off but the problem is not just the selector that the visitor can see - I can't sort the categories as I can't select some of the later ones.
Due to an earlier error some sub categories are now main categories and I need to move them back. Is there another way to do this without using the category selector in admin?

I don't know what you mean by not being able to sort, I can't think of any sorting option that involves a list of categories. Unless you're setting priority manually for each on bulk edit categories, but that doesn't depend on the selector either.
