Hi webgift!
I've just found why: as I used autonomous pages only, I've deleted any other content, categories and sections thus the Categories Manager disappeared  ???

I can confirm that, installing Elxis without sample content or deleting everything as above will drive to have the Categories Manager not showing ("Content by Section" + "Categories Manager", as I have done some tests today.

If there is a way to restore that in someway, without reinstalling Elxis?

Thank you

Luca

I have the same "problem". My Elxis does not have sections!

Ok, maybe I had some mess around...

After creating a Section, then appears the Categories Manager also.

Something has to be gone in the wrong way, then, when I tried to manually upgrade the 2009.2 to 2009.3: creating the section, categories manager didn't appeared (by the way, neither SoftDisk was able to upgrade the database).

Problem solved for my case (Don't know about the DataHell one  ::) ). Thanks anyway  ;)

In Elxis 2009.x a category can not exist without a section as the content structure is pre-defined: section -> category -> content item.
If you removed all sections then it is obvious why the categories manager disappeared.

I still can not find sections in Elxis 4.0!!  ;D

Yes, you are definitely right and this is the natural behavior I was expecting but probably due to a mess didn't happened to reappear once I created a new Section.

If I could put my hands on a v. 4.0 I could try to help you  :D
