I'm trying to configure the Featured Products box that displays on the main page. I have two primary problems.

1. I don't want it to display on the store's main page (no category selected). I want it to display only when a category has been selected. Currently, I can control it to display on both or neither.

2. When in a category, Featured products are only displaying if they are located in a direct sub-category. They're not displaying if they're in a sub-sub or sub-sub-sub category. I need the featured products in all of the subcategories to display.

Here are my settings:
Show Featured Products on Main Page : 0
Show Featured Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories : 2
Filter Product Listing for Current Top Level Category When Enabled : 0

If I switch off "Show Featured Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories", the featured products disappear from the main page and also when in a category. I would have thought "Show Products on Main Page" would control the store's main page.

Any help is appreciated!
