1. Create the Category Structure |
In Catalog > Manage Categories, create your basic category structure. This should minimally consist of a root category containing one sub-category. For example:
- Default Category -- Category 1
2. Make Desired Categories Visible |
For each category you want to appear in the menu, select the category and set “Is Active” to yes. (e.g. Category 1 > General Information > Is Active > Yes) For more information about categories, visit the Index page.
3. Set Root Category |
The root category will not be visible in the menu, but any active categories it contains will.
Depending on how you installed Magento, Category 1 may already be showing in the menu at this point. If it is not, go to System > Manage Stores > Main Website Store (or other store name). Set Root Category to be the root category you want to use.
