Is my unpublished Category deleted?!

Hello!  I recently unchecked the Published box on my Christmas category, and now I can't see it listed in the Catalog > Categories list.  I would like to Publish it again next year, instead of recreating it!  Am I missing something?

I'm using nop 1.8

it should be listed with a big red x beside it to show it is unpublished

if it's not, maybe you deleted it ?

you can edit the database table nop_categories

find the column 'is deleted'  if it is marked 'true', change it to 'false'
