    Default Changing Category Layout

    So I changed my categories where they display like:

    One
    Two
    Three
    Four

    instead of

    One Two Three
    Four Five Six

    The problem is now they categories are displaying like this

    Number 1
    Number 2
    Number 3

    Number 4
    Number 5
    Number 6

    Number 7
    Etc

    They're also centered in the middle and I'd like them to layout out to the left.

    Couldn't find anything in the general area of the stylesheet.css that related to this.

    Don't know if this solution will do exactly what you want as your template will have some control over the layout, but I installed a mod called "Column Layout Grid" and LOVE the additional flexibility it gave me.

    Do you by chance have any examples of this add on?
    Not looking for anything extreme so figured it'd be more time efficient just editing a bit of the code to achieve what I wanted.

    The Column Grid mod only applies to the product listing page, not subcategory listings.

    You don't need to edit any PHP files.
    Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values > Categories To List Per Row >>set to 1.
    Then some styling in your stylesheet.css will take care of the alignment - seeing your site live will allow the best advice.

    Is an example.

    I went into the stylesheet.css and edited it and changed it instead of going through admin(as somehow I missed that option).

    Alright ended up changing the stylesheet.css back to the floating to the left and changed the listings per row to 1 through the admin.

    Do you know where in the stylesheet the code is to move the text towards the left as well as make it bigger/bold?
