Category not displaying in Admin's view

[WebDev7]

Our Admin shows a parent category, category #100. There is only 4 child(sub) categories displayed in it.

When I looked in the database at the Category table for this parent category #100, there is also a child category # 212. This would make the total amount of ‘5 child categories’ for parent category #100. The child category #212 should be displaying in category #100 when viewing ADMIN; it is not.

I’ve ran table queries on Catalog table nodes and Categories and it’s all there: they each have a category parent of #100, visibility is set to “0” for all of them. Only this one category #212 is not displaying for some reason.

Additionally, when I manually change the URL in the ADMIN by replacing “categoryid=100” with 212, I can see that category contents.

Has anyone experienced this? If anyone has, were you able to find the cause behind this strange behavior?

Thank you for reading.

It sounds like you might be using the Lucene search provider. If so, try using the Website > Indexes function and see if that makes the category appear.
