You would need an add on for that ... I believe there may be one in the Free Software Add Ons ...

The feature built into Zen Cart is so that when the Parent Category is clicked on, the subcategories then show in the Categories sidebox ...

Thanks for your quick reply! I tried this add on, but it did not seem to make a difference.

If anyone knows of any other add ons please let me know. Thank you! :smile:

Did you change the folders named YOUR_TEMPLATE in the mod to the name of your template?

I did... I changed it to custom and it is still not working for me. I'm not sure what i am doing incorrectly.
