Yea...adding another field in the category.def (category_title), without updating your EXISTING categories.db file...in other words, your CATEGORY database file is now corrupt.

Is there any repairing the category.db file?

Manually...you need to add an extra delimiter to each record line or use an offline editor like Excel or Access.

What you should do is use one of your recent CATEGORIES.DB backup file, and the add the extra delimiter at the end of each of your records. Then upload the edited CATEGORIES.DB to your data folder.

bye...
