# Document folder parent issue

 * Hi
 * I have three parent folders, Documents, Forms and Policies. The ‘policies’ folder
   is where I have the issue. The other two work perfectly.
 * When I select ‘Policies’ I have six sub folders. When I click on any other the
   six sub folders and see the documents within them, the back button (blue arrow)
   shows the name of the sub folder you’re already in, not the Parent.
 * If I click on the ‘Forms’ parent folder and click on a sub folder, you can navigate
   back to the parent folder using the blue arrow.
 * Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

 * I have stumbled upon the issue.
 * For some reason in the database (wp_options>mdocs-cats) the parent for each of
   the sub folders were set to the incorrect mdocs-category. Once I changed them
   to the correct category in the DB and refreshed the page it started showing the
   correct parent.
 * Hopefully manually changing those entries hasn’t broken anything else. I’ll keep
   an eye out.

 * have you been using mDocs for a long time? There was an issue with older version
   that cause what you are describing, but I had thought I had figured out the problem.

 * Hi bhaldie
 * Yes we have been using it for nearly two years now and this has been an issue
   for quote some time. Only just got round to sorting it out.
 * I haven’t created any new folders since we set it up either so not sure if it
   would have happened on a brand new category and sub folders. I’ll let you know
   if it does.

 * All new folder creation should be all good, it was old folder that had the issues.
 * Hopefully all will be good moving forward, let me know if you are still experiencing
   issue and I will look into the folder problem again.
