Super Newbie here

 

All the tutorials I've found on adding categories are showing things that I do not have on my screen. I have version 1.5.5. I have the 'home' category and then every other category I add goes under that. How do I add more categories so that everything is not listed under home? For example...Across the top I want categories for Pet, Household, Apparel, Garden. Right now I have Home and then when I hover over Home I get Pet, Household, Apparel, Garden listed as a subcategory. How do I get them to the top?

 

I've seen things in the forums about a 'root' button or a make subcategory. I can't see anything like that on my version. 

 

Help!

Good morning

 

Just add your categories as normal http://screencast.com/t/wXEzTMb9

 

Then add child categories of, for example,  Pets http://screencast.com/t/SZwJJH4gGsXO

 

Then go to:

 

Back office > Modules > Modules > Front Office Features > scroll down to Top Horizontal Menu > click Configure

 

You will then see this  http://screencast.com/t/MfTDXi5eSeJC    Notice the last three items

 

Highlight Pet (name of your store) Click Add, click Save

 

Hope this helps

Paulito - Yes, that is what I am trying to do. How do you do it?

Vekia - If I add them under home then they show as sub categories instead of being their own category

 

home is an "ROOT" only, nothing more.

everything depends on WHERE they appear as a subcategories. in block categories? Nope, because they are appear there as a main category by default. only one possibility: top horizontal block. Paulito described above how to solve it :)

Hi Paulito

 

When I follow your directions my screen doesn't look the same as yours. This is what I see:

 

 

Apparently it will not accept my photo. 

 

I see:

 

CMS

   Home

     Delivery

     Legal Notice

     Terms & Conditions

     About us

     Secure Payment

Supplier

Manufacturer

   Apple Computer, Inc

   Shure Incorp

Categories 

   Root (ECG)

Products

   Choose product ID

Menu Top Links

 

 

However, I went and added 3 categories and a subcategory.

Hi daisymaysipes, if you go to your back office and select Catalog/Categories, please take a screenshot showing your list of categories, save it as an image file (e.g. .jpg or .png) and post it here.

If you click 'More Reply Options' when you reply, it will allow you to select and upload an image file from your computer.

Thanks, Dave

it looks like there is something wrong with category tree. i suppose that you added new root categories instead adding categories to Home category... without more informations it's hard to say something more, so just follow stottycabanas suggestions

 

thanks in advance
