 * Hello there! Since – I guess today – there is a massive “warning” on my main 
   catalogue site and on the categories catalogue sites. What can I do? Please help

 * Hi Kim,
 * That line relates to the listing your sub-categories in the sidebar filtering.
   And that warning seems to imply that it is not able to loop through your sub-
   categories. With that in mind, do you have any sub-categories created? If so,
   did you change anything with them (i.e. delete some, create new ones, assign 
   products, etc.)?
 * Also, this area of code is specifically used when you have the “Sub-Category 
   Style” option set to “Hierarchical”. Do you have this set? Either way, what happens
   if you switch this setting to the other choice?
 * Also, we released an update yesterday. There was nothing in there relating to
   this, but perhaps it didn’t fully or correctly install. If you re-install the
   update, does it make a difference? If not, then, if you roll back to the previous
   version, does that make a difference?

 * Dear [@jaysupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaysupport/) ,
 * thank you for your fast support and the suggested solutions. You were totally
   right, I indeed have had created a sub-category ((a) long time ago and (b) it
   was empty.) I deleted it now. Cleared cache + F5 but nothing changed.
 * Than i switched the “Sub-Category Style” option set from “Hierarchical” to “gruppiert”(
   DE) so I guess in EN it is “Group” or something like that … and tadaa (cleared
   cache + F5) everything is fine now a g a i n. Thanks a lot!
 * Regarding the “update from yesterday” you mentioned, m a y b e this caused this“
   php confusion” somehow, because one day befor I added a new artwort to the catalogue
   and everything was fine at this time. I remember it so precisely because the 
   work of art I
    added to the catalogue relates to the Int. Womensday (8.3.).
 * However, it works now again.
 * Warm regards & all the best,
    Kim
