When I change the name of a category on the backend, the frontend does not display with the updated name. I have tried clearing all the cache, but nothing changes. It is not a browser cache issue either. The link updates (URL Key) fine, but the visual name in the menu does not.
Could it have something to do with using a custom template? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Try to refresh under cache management (all caches) and try to work with cache disabled
Yes, I have tried disabling cache and have manually deleted the cache via ftp. Still nothing. This is very frustrating =/
I have contact Varien to pay someone to fix this mess, but they don’t seem interested. wheeee
@Insidedesign: It is possible you have multiple stores and you are editing the default values, if there’s a dropdown in left top corner during category edit, please make sure it is selected for your store before changing the category name.

Good suggestion, but there no drop down at all. Is this the problem?
@Insidedesign: did you have sample data installed or multiple stores, and then removed extra stores so you have only one left?
Yes, there looks to be a 2nd store in the ‘Manage Stores’ admin. There are a total of two store, and both are set to the ‘Root Catalog’, as that seems to be the only choice. Dunno if this means much, but the 2nd store has nothing to choose from for the ‘Default Store View’ option.
Edit: We are not using sample, but our own data that we have been manually putting in. About 250+ products so far.
Ok, let’s try this: BACKUP your database and run on it the following statements:
delete from catalog_category_entity_datetime where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_category_entity_decimal where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_category_entity_int where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_category_entity_text where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_category_entity_varchar where store_id<>0;
delete from catalog_product_entity_datetime where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_product_entity_decimal where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_product_entity_int where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_product_entity_text where store_id<>0; delete from catalog_product_entity_varchar where store_id<>0;
This will clean store specific attributes for categories and products and will use global values by default.
If you will see that some data was edited previously FOR SPECIFIC STORE and got lost, the backup will come handy
Alright, I ran the query: “Your SQL query has been executed successfully”
I didn’t notice any changes on the front end, so I then refreshed the cache. That seemed to do the trick…
Now what about that extra store? Should we go ahead and delete it?
I have a magento 1.3.1, on bluehost.com, modern theme, 1 store only
every time I had added or edited category over back end the change didn’t show up in the front end but gave an 404 error of course. only time it hows up in the front end when I reinstall the theme over magento connect
