Additional comments

In the article list view in backend all articles have a (trashed) mark! But non of the categories are actually trashed ???

@rbuelund Do you still have these categories with names "2017" and "2018"? Or have they been trashed once and then deleted (empty trash) so they don't exist anymore?

[rbuelund]

All categories are still there when I look in the categories list. Nothing changed there.

I saw this when investigating another problem, that all of a sudden a few articles could not be saved anymore. When I press save I am simply returned to the article list and nothing is saved - but do not know if this problem is related.

Hmm I cannot reproduce it here. Have updated and categories are not shown as trashed in the articles list. But I have characters in my category names. Maybe it has to do with the numeric names "2017" and "2018" (just a silly idea)?

In my applications everything in categories is published as before. Are you using template overridee in backend?

[rbuelund]

No, no overrides in backend

@chmst As far as I understood the issue, the categories are not the problem. The problem is the display of the categories in the Articles list showing the categories as being trashed but they are not.

[rbuelund]

Exactly

Could this be a problem in the assets table ? This IS a site that was migrated way back from 1.5

[chmst]

Yes, sorry - I wanted to say that all categories in articles overviews is correct. But your idea with numbers .. maybe. We can investigate here. The asset table - no.

[rbuelund]

But just wondering, why the problem has arissen right now ?? Has there been som code changes related to the categories view or the way categories are marked as trashed ?

[rbuelund]

I also have top categories with no numbers - same problem.

Really stange. The copy of my 3.10 homepage which I once had updated to 4.0 and then later kept up to date is still fine. It has an update history not back to 1.5 but to 2.5. And it's really strange why that comes with an update from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1.
