Magento 2.2.3 Top category menu suddenly disappeared - magento

Sorry in advance I'm not very familiar with Magento.
I am working on a Magento Web Shop and one day the top navigation, where you can open the categories, just disappeared. I tried searching in the vendor folder for the Block or templates for it but no success there. Didn't find a solution in the Admin panel as well. Searched in Google, but the only thing I found was about Varnish, which I'm not using.
I'm open to any suggestions and questions.

Look in Vendor/magento/module_theme/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
remove ttl="3600" from
This happens on sites without ssl (local?)
Preferably you make a child theme first and put the catalog.topnav section in the default.xml of your theme otherwise you have to repeat this with every update..

Joomla 1.7 - can't find Meta Titles

we moved a site for a client a while back that someone else created. Its running on Joomla 1.7.
We want to do some light SEO work for them but I can't for the life of me find the Meta/SEO title field anywhere.
All the support posts I've looked at say its here or there but for me its not. It seems to be know where! In the meta options section when editing an artcile there is a description and keyword field but no title.
Some help would be appreciated. This client can't justify a new website.
Thanks!
Update:
we ended up upgrading this install to 2.5, still couldn't edit the meta titles anywhere. So I installed a plugin which gave me the title field but it had no effect! Can only assume the theme hasn't been put together properly. The conclusion is that its now quicker for us to just move them to WordPress where stuff works properly! :)
I'm working more with Wordpress than Joomla, but I think that you should download an extension if you want to have a meta-title in the pages. For the home page you can change it from Menu - Main menu - Home.

Lost Pagination Toolbar in Magento 1.8.1

Hello
I have a live Magento 1.8.1 site where pagination was working on product list pages (such as category pages) but I’ve been adding and removing a number of extensions / plugins and I’ve lost all pagination. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the last time it was working so I can’t think precisely what extension might have caused the problem.
I’ve checked all the usual fixes such as here but my catalog.xml is fine (and all problems seem to only relate to 1.4 - 1.6). I am reluctant to upload new files which I actually think might fix it but I also know how temperamental Magento is! Everything else is working perfectly for the first time after a month of serious hard work including a couple of reinstalls!
The website is next2new.net and although you can see a custom theme, there is also no pagination on the default magento theme which indicates to me it’s a core problem somewhere.
Any thoughts on any files I could check / change before I do a big overwrite?
Many thanks
Following things you can try in order to Cope-up with this situation :
1) Disable those modules which is overriding Catalog module and check once again.
2) Check whether Toolbar block is calling or not using Template and Block Path hints using Magento Admin.
3) If you are using any template, possibly there could be a setting in Admin section to Manage toolbar.

Home Store View and Editing Home Link in Magento

I'm not a web designer/coder but a friend had a designer quit on him and is needing some help getting his website up and running.
Website is www.wilfrednewman.com
They are using magento 1.7, blanco theme.
I'm wondering a couple things:
1) How to edit the first item of the menu (Clothing that leads to coming-soon.html). In the CMS Static Blocks he has page-menu defined which is where the other links are generated(bespoke,wedding,about,press,store), but Clothing is not there. I just don't know where to edit Clothing.
I can go through the tutorial and see how to make nav_block1 for blanco ( http://www.techturn.com/TT/Blanco_Magento_Theme.pdf ), and I have successfully done that. It just adds a link to the end of the menu he already established. I think I could likely follow that to add all my links, but I just don't know how to edit the first link so it doesn't matter
2) How do I get a "storefront" view. Just some basic store-front that has the newest products listed? That's what I would want Clothing to link to.
Googling these problems generally brings me the wrong solutions, such as editing the Home button in the Magento Navigation, so I can't find the solution for what I need, so I'm sorry if this is common but I'm just not googling the right thing!
To Edit Clothing link,
app/design/frontend/default/blanco/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml. I think he had added page-menu here. Kindly check.
If you want to display products in clothing link, Add the below line in CMS Page (coming-soon).
Please change the category_id as you want.
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="xx" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

No horizontal navigation showing on Magento custom theme

I have decided to sit down and build my first custom theme in Magento and I'm using this tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/magento-for-designers-part-4/
However I cant for the life of me find a way to include horizontal navigation (Home | Shop | Contact etc.) along the top of my website!
I tried all the suggestions I could find including placing everything in the root category and enabling all cats in the navigation.. refreshing the cache etc.
I've been working at this for hours now and been searching everywhere for an answer. I've pretty much followed the tutorial step by step but I can't see any way to enable the Nav - can someone please point me in the right direction with this?
(I'm kind of assuming Magento have a way to do this to add categories automatically - I'm aware I could hard code the navigation bar but I'm trying to avoid this.)
Looking at the screenshot on the tutorial, it doesn't actually have the menu anyway.
I'd recommend you check out leveluptuts magento theming tutorials, who actually take the base theme and manipulates it into the desired theme. I think you'll have much more luck that way as most of the templates and layout files are already built.
http://leveluptuts.com/tutorials/magento-community-tutorials/25-theming-magento-1-intro-theming
For the top menu, the default theme pages call the "header.phtml" template for the header block (app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/header.phtml), which in turns calls the "topmenu.phtml" template (app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml) where the menu code is.
The layout files is page.xml
Hope this helps!

Magento 1.7 CE, Admin layout messed up when editing a product

I am currently using magento 1.7 for my website http://tuicoach.vn
This is my first post after searching all posts for this issue. I have modified the frontend including style.css in my skin (display:none for Vertical nav in sidebar) & product List style to remove Compare & Wishlist.
Other than this, I didn't touch anything on admin folder. Is there any reason why I got like the attached when I select a product to edit?
The main editing area now got inside the sidebar navigation for admin.
Much appreciate. I am fraid I have to completely reinstall.
