Initial permission error

With Fleximigrate from NetAssoPro i have exported content of joomla 1.5, flexicontent 1.5.6 and imported to joomla 2.5.7, flexicontent 2.0.0 RC9. In component Flexicontent in tab "Post installation" i have to update "Initial permission" (and some other plugins, but these are updated successfully), but the update dont have effect and show message "Invalid parent ID". Its the same like on screenshot from fabian. i have disabled flexicontent system plugin and rebuild categories and menu items, but no effect.

So you tried this:

www.wincert.net/tips/joomla/2599 ... -parent-id

Similar issue during migration from 1.5.26 to 2.5.6. FLEXIcontent version 2.0.0 RC9b (r1601).
Tried rebuilding the menus as suggested but the article manager and category manager just take me to the flexicontent initialization screen asking me to update the "intial permission"
clicking on it returns
Initial permission JTableAsset: :move Failed - Cannot move the node to be a child of itself

I tried disabling the system flexicontent plugin and was then able to see my articles and rebuild the categories but flexicontent still keeps returning that error.

I'm upgrading from 1.5 to 2.5 using fleximigrate. Fleximigrate script tells me I have one bad category and it fails on the "Initialize Rights" step.

I'm wondering if they are related. Is this step something I can manually fix in the database and is there a way to determine what category failed to migrate?

You have a loop in your asset tree or in category tree, maybe the following will help to find the loop:

1. Edit file:
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/flexicontent.php

2. Find code (at about line 1503) with

Thanks. I tracked it down to a set of items with a similar parent_id; which I assumed is that category that isn't migrating, but turns out there are at least 5 categories with content that is being "orphaned".
BTW, I used this to track down the content. It was a bit easier to help locate the items.
echo " Problem saving asset with id: ".$asset ->id." and title ".$asset->title;

Two more thing. I've been deleting these items from the database to progress. I'd prefer not to have to do that when I migrate the production site. What should I do on the original site to ensure that these pieces of content migrate successfully?
And, is there a way to "safely" bulk delete previous version of content?

Maybe, before upgrading to J2.5, do this :

upgrade to FC r1601 and then edit and save all items and categories that give this trouble.

I built a joomla 3.3 site and transfered data from joomla 2.5 with the help of SP Transfer extension (by the way it is really usefull and with a reasonable price) Then I installed Flexi Content.

Then i noticed that i have to transfer some more articles and categories from another site. I transfered but Flexi Content didnt recognise them. Then i uninstalled FlexiContent to be sure that my transferred articles are there and installed Flexi again to recognise newly articles.

And then I got initial permission error Any advice? (I rebuilt menus but didnt work)

Hello

please click FLEXIcontent "configuration" button and enable "debug initial permissions"

Thank you

I checked other posts too and I saw "Debug initial permission creation"

Weird but i cant bring it too yes. I bring it to "yes" and after saving it is still "no" I use stable Flexi

Also repaired mysql databases. Lately transferred categories may cause problem as written in other posts but i cant make initial debug on.

Hello

about saving component parameters,
please set
max_input_vars to 5000
