spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @alwayspaws You need to enter the category ID of the parent category in Entity ID. So go into Catalog > Categories to find the ID of the parent section. That's all you need to do (assuming your categories imported correctly and you have main categories with sub categories within them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I thought "home" was the parent. I don't see a number for it. I have categories and subcategories because I can view them in admin: Example: Home / Grooming CATEGORIES: GROOMING subcategories: hair bows, bowties, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense when I read it but when I go to the form, I don't know which is the parent section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It sounds like you imported all your categories under home. I personally separate my categories as follows Home - Main Category -sub category -sub category -sub category - Main Category -sub category -sub category So I might have 5 main categories and all related categories under each one of those. Then on the menu, the headings are the main categories and when you click on them it drops down to all the sub categories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I have 7 parents under Home but 134 categories in all with the subs. I have 3 levels as most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @spidawebs @Havouza The column that says Root Category (0/1) - could that be the problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, it looks like you have the Parent and sub categories setup correctly. The Root may need to be 1 but I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 No it should be 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think maybe your main Parent Categories need to have 1 for the Root. So: Dog Clothes Grooming Dog Lovers Jewelry etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 NONO. The Root is the root and if they are set to one there will be many roots like for a multishop setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Why are the sub categories not going under the parent category then? Should it be "Home;Dog Clothes" rather than just "Dog Clothes"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidawebs Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 On your test site it seems to be working exactly like that though? You have Dog Lovers Jewelry as the main heading and then the sub categories drop down underneath it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why it's displaying the way it is but it doesn't display at all on my TB site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
