Title: Sub-categories and Menu
Post by: armpouniotis on April 13, 2015, 19:14:55

Hi there !

I have made 1 Category with 4 sub categories. Unfortunately,  in the menu manager I can't make links to these sub-categories. Any solution ???

thank you in advance
Christos

It is simple. Creating the menu item for the parent category into parameters at Other options you have to select Full for the Expand option.

To make nikos answer more complete.

You have 2 options.
1. Create the link to the category and then in menu item's other options set "expand" to "Limited" (for direct sub-categories), or "Full" for the complete category tree (second level, third level, etc). Advantage: If you add a new sub-category in the future you wont have to update the menu item in order to list that sub-category too.
2. Create the link to the category X. Create a new link for each sub-category and set as parent the category X. Advantage: You can custom re-order the menu items for the sub-categories.
