daisymaysipes Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisymaysipes Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulito Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 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 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymaysipes Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) 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.

stottycabanas Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stottycabanas Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If you're happy to set up a dummy employee with a fake email address and profile set to Administrator and send me a PM with your back office URL, the fake email address and password, then I'll take a look and see if I can find the problem.
