Categories Missing
Hello YNAB,
I tried to input a transaction, and realized that several categories in my budget had disappeared. These were all the most basic categories (gas, groceries, etc.) Wondering what happened to those categories, or if there was a glitch that can be fixed.
Thank you

Hi gonzilliken14! Navy Blue Case
That definitely sounds odd! Is it possible those categories could be hidden? If you look at your budget and scroll to the bottom, do you see a hidden section? If so, you can click there to unhide those categories.
Check there and let me know what you find! :)

Nope, not hidden. Just the whole category "Basics" disappeared and now things we had previously put there such as gas filed under "Transportation" are marked as needing a category.

If they were hidden, the transactions wouldn’t show as needing a category. That happens when a category is deleted. Is it possible you deleted the category in error? You can try emailing support and ask them if they can restore your budget to a previous version. You’ll lose any transactions entered since then. Depending on how many transactions are affected, you could recreate the categories and assign the transactions a category.
