RESOLVED: Menu disappeared - no changes on site - error log entry included

[buddahboy]

Greetings - this morning my site has no menu - it was okay yesterday but now there is only Home showing none of the categories - see image. 

Log file shows:

2014-04-07 11:02:44 - warning:  AbanteCart core v.1.1.8 Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <b>/home/mahamaya/public_html/storefront/controller/blocks/category.php</b> on line <b>176</b>

Need to fix ASAP, putting in maintenance mode in the meantime so nobody access the site - can somebody please assist? 

Thanks
Ron

Based on your warning, all categories are no longer present.

Couple things that could happen:

1. Cache got corrupted.
Solution: Try to clear cache in admin and categories will be reloaded from database.

2. Categories got deleted from your database:
Check in admin if you see categories
Solution: Restore categories from backup

3. Your database got corrupted
Solution: Contact your hosting company

Possibly something else, but it will needs to be investigated.

Thank you abantecart - was indeed the cache and is fixed just now so we're good to go - - guess I should have done that first but was freaked out a bit, you know how it is, no? 

Appreciate your assistance
All the best

Strange. Do you remember what operations you did before you noticed this?

[buddahboy]

Was just that way when accessing the site.  Did nothing actually but I'll keep an eye out on the error log and let you know if I see something. 

Thanks again - sorry for the false alarm
