    Hi after we updated from 1.x to 2.x i just today noticed the many of our category titles are using the _ Underscore in the title even though that is the set preference for the site: CP Home> Administration> Global Channel Preferences > UNDERSCORE


    I tested one category and if i re-enter the Title the Category_Title gets updated with the underscore.

    But how would i do this automagically? As i have over a hundred that need updating.

    Not sure why they would appear missing.

    When you add new categories (and channel entries for that matter) the URL title is automtically populated.

    For some this is the case. And all new titles or categories are so treated. But the older entries that i did in EE 1.X were not showing up and i traced this to the fact that the category titles were missing the underscore. I am sure it was there when i originally entered them.

    Anyways I have manually updated about 50% of the faulty categories. ... and will slog away on the rest as time allows.

    Cheers,

    I have manually updated all the category titles to force the inclusion of the under_score. So all is well now.

    Thanks.
