how to delete old categories in forum which reappears when i use url rewriting

(1/1)

hi everybody !!!

I'm a big noob in php, and mysql database, but i think i understand the problem, but cannot fix it myself.

when i try to use pretty urls or some url rewriting mod, old categories that i deleted from the forum months ago reappears in the url.

how can i fix this, i mean i got only two categories in my forum, and before i got plenty categories, that i deleted because i did not need that much categories

do i have to manually reorganize or delete it elsewhere, in the sql database ? i don't know, but this is not good

for example if delete a category and put posts in a new category, when using a url rewriting mod they reappear !!! WTF?!!!

so i need some help, it is not a mod problem i think but a database corruption.

what do i need to do to get rid of those categories that not even exist on the forum ?

for example posts, and categories are using numbers to identify them in databse but old ones still their ? !!! wtf

thanks for helping me resolve this !!!! :D

vinzbomb:

The question's clear enough but there aren't that many people who know about pretty URLs' internals, and those that are, may not be around right now seeing how that everyone here is a volunteer and bumping for an answer multiple times in under 24 hours is a bit impatient and rude and discourages people from answering you.

It is a mod problem, it's down to the way pretty URLs caches things so that even if you move something, it'll still be re-routed to the right place and not just left behind as a 'not found' error. You should be able to have it rebuild the cache in the admin panel which should solve some of the problem.
