Re: Sub catergories not showing on main page

still getting blank page.. did you modify any php or language file ? if so you might have added spaces at the end of file . try using Debug utility from here

Re: Sub catergories not showing on main page

check your Configuration > Images
and look to see all your settings are correct.
your product info page , missing images , so i assume something might be wrong for medium image as well as categories image .. beyond that , i have no idea what might be wrong .

Re: Sub catergories not showing on main page

As your page dies while drawing when you click on a Category with Subcategories ... it might help to get from the Free Software Add Ons the Debug Tool and see what errors are being reported ...

Another test is to switch to the Classic Template to see if this is purely a template issue ...

Many Templates turn off features by hard coding changes ...

In the Tools ... Developers Kit ... do a search in the bottom input box on:
category_row

That might help you see if it has been commented out or what files use it to see if there is a problem ...
