-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.wellingtonwebsites.co.nz/gm1
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.4
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error
An element with the same alias already exists

Error Saving

Last week I created a new Category Product called "Vitamins & Minerals" then deleted it because the client said we did not need this.

Than I find out that we do need this.
So I created a new Category again called Vitamins & Minerals.

But now it won't let me create that Category, getting this error:
Error
An element with the same alias already exists
Error Saving


Yes, I have tried rebuilding the Categories. No change.
Yes, have also looked at the Alias on all of the other categories.

Hi,

Please try to go through phpMyAdmin and in the table "#__hikashop_category" search on the column alias the word "vitamins" and use the "%LIKE%" operator. This will show you all the categories with that alias, from there you will be able to edit/delete the category with the corresponding id.

ps: I removed the login informations because any registered user was able to see them. Please use our contact form to give private informations instead

Found it.
But I had to search on the whole database.

The Category added fine now.

Thanks.
