			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had this issue of &#8220;magento categories not showing&#8221;  from the first time i tried to get to know magento, and it happens in various circumstances.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p>The simplest one is when you do forget to mark a category as anchor.  In that case, it does not show up in the home page menu.</p>
<p>The other case is when you make your category outside of the default category tree. All your categories must be created under the default category parent tree node.</p>
<p>The third and more difficult case was when i deleted the default category for some reason. I recreated a root category and followed the instructions above, but with no luck.</p>
<p>The solution was to go to &#8220;System -&gt; Manage Stores&#8221; and click on the Store Name. There is an option there where you can choose the right &#8220;default category&#8221; for the specific strore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had to change the directory name of me magento installation for some reason. After that, the site did not load well (as it was expected). I now i had to change the base url in the admin section (configuration settings).</p>
<p><span id="more-34"></span></p>
<p>I had to manually change the urls in the browser every time i browse from page to page, but when i finnaly got to the right one, the buttons did not work.</p>
<p>So i had to do it in another way. I went to my phpadmin page in order to access the database. I manually edited the &#8220;web/unsecure/base_url&#8221; and &#8220;web/secure/base_url&#8221; fields in the &#8220;core_config_data&#8221;  table.</p>
<p>I refreshed my page but still no luck. Perhaps it was the cach. But how could i change it?</p>
<p>Manually again!</p>
<p>I went to my ftp client and accessed the var/cache/ directory. I deleted everything inside there and voila!</p>

The solution is to make some modifications at &#8220;app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\navigation\top.phtml&#8221;
and add a piece of code like:
&#60;li class=&#8221;level0 nav-cat1&#8243;&#62;
&#60;a href=&#8221;http://localhost/test/index.php/yourpage.html&#8221;&#62;&#60;span&#62;Your Page&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;
