# Save Categories button changes categories

 * Everytime I hit the “Save Categories” button, it’ll drop some category names,
   rearrange categories, add blank categories, etc.
 * The only weird thing I see with developer tools is that mdocs-script.js loads
   twice, once with a single slash and one with a double slash (website.com/file/
   paths//mdocs-script.js). I don’t see any other errors in the javascript.
 * Any help with this?

 * Hello Amanda,
 * Sorry to hear of your issues. Categories is new functionality so I expect to 
   fix some bugs. The best and easiest way for me to fix the issue is to look at
   the site and see the issue for myself. Could I get a link to the site and if 
   possible access to the dashboard?

 * FWIW, I’m having the same problem. Category management just isn’t working correctly–
   I have empty rows I can’t delete, I’ve lost sub-categories, etc.
 * I can let you have a look if you need it.
 * Thanks

 * Hi
 * I am having the same problem with the 2.3.9 version. I have 15 main categories
   and every time I add a new main category, it takes an existing category and convert
   it to a subcategory when I hit the save button

 * I have a separate posting on it, but I’m running into the same issues… Blank 
   categories, moving categories, wonky subcategories… I’m running 2.6.13.

 * Here is an update of my progress with this issue:
 * I am continuing to work on it but having found the root cause yet. The issue 
   seems not happen all the time which is taking me longer to debug.
 * Please be patient I am working on a solution.
