shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The "Home" the root category of the whole catalog. There should only one root category. if you just want to change the name, you can go to database change name of "Home" category to "Products" (I don't think there is a way to change "Home" category at back office) Table: ps_category_lang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeel12 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 So I can't have 'Home' then 'Products' with the drop down menu then 'About Us' on my menu bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If your home only contains "Products", I think there is meaning to have it, it just adding more level of category. I think you can still have "Home" as menu at your menu bar which literally means to your store home page. Sorry if I didn't answer your questions correctly.

adeel12 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's ok..but you have confused me now. All I want to know is how to add a products page on my website after the home page where I can list products under it in different categories. As it currently stands everything goes under my the category 'Home' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I am also confused, because your post title is "How to add another parent category", so I took it you want add another category at your catalog. Did you mean you just want to add another menu item "Products" at you menu bar, something like this Home | Products | .... if it is so, you only need to add a new link (menu item) link to category "Home" with link YourStoreURL/category.php?id_category=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeel12 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes this is what I want to do. Sorry for the confusion. Currently my home button on the menu bar has a drop down where products is listed. I want to this products out from there and put it onto the menu bar with its own drop down menu. That is all.

shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I am not sure what kind menu bar you are using. Is it a module of custom theme? Anyway, you should be able to configure the menu bat to adding the link with name "Products" which links to YourStoreURL/category.php?id_category=1 If you are using SEO friendly, you can just the SEO friendly URL one instead of above.

shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I guess it is 3rd party module, I am not familiar with it. maybe you can contact the author of the module if you can not figure out how to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
