labm0nkey Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Hello I am trying to migrate my shop to prestashop 1.5 and can't figure out few things about categories. What are root categories technically? I can create any category or subcategory and making it a root or not doesn't change anything. I can make categories with subcategories and make them all root - doesn't matter. I heard that root categories can't have perents but they can... Second thing is Home category and hidden category named "Root". In a fresh prestashop installation there are always those 2 created in first place. "Root" is always a parent to "Home" and "Home" cannot be changed . Every new category is a child to "Home" . Whats the difference between "Home" and "Root"?

phrasespot Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 What are root categories technically? Anchors for all other categories configurable by shop. Alas once create one you need a crystal ball to communicate with them. Vote for this issue to raise awareness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
