[Typo3] tt_news not reading from folder

Hello all,

I have a minor problem with our site - it was created in collaboration with
an IT firm so I've been learning the innards of Typo3 as I go. For various
reasons I had to redesign the start page with as little disturbance to end
users as possible, and to this end I created a new page with the new design
and shifted all of the nested folders and pages accordingly to the new page,
consequently deleting the old one.

A few links here and there had to be fixed as a result of the PIDs being
changed, but there was (mostly) no problem. However, tt_news didn't seem to
like this at all and now whatever I do, I cannot get the extension to read
from any news folder regardless of whether I filter out a category or not.
The page doesn't even display "No news to display" which suggests to me that
something may have gone seriously wrong with the extension. I checked the
extension's configuration and indeed Storage PID was 0, so it shouldn't be
looking for the categories in the old folder which no longer exists.
Nonetheless, I have attempted to set the General Record Storage page to the
categories folder and work that way, but that doesn't work either and I'm
not sure how too much twiddling around with the GRS page on root will affect
other extensions like tt_products.

Does anyone have any suggestions what could have gone wrong here? I'll be
happy to elaborate if anyone needs more information.

All the best,

Darryl LeCount
