Subcategories not showing in center

I have a category with several subcategories, but the subcategories aren't being listed in the center of the page. So if the customer clicks on a subcategory, the center is empty, but the subcategories are listed under the category on the left. How can I make the subcategories appear in the center too?

You should mention that you also have products directly in those categories; that is the cause of your problem, and nobody can solve it without knowing that. Starting another thread won't get you different answers.

Well, I have now since removed them. So yea, it is a seperate problem.

In that case, what do you have for Configuration > Product Listing > Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating ?

It's set to 1.

Then I don't know what else could be happening there, sorry.
Seeing your site live might help, if your template has been hard-coded for this.

I've double and triple checked to make sure I didn't have anything in the category where I have subcategories just in case that was the problem, not sure what else the problem could be...

my site is http://stufftoscrap.com/store

Any help would be appreciated since I can't have products in categories and subcategories, I'd at least like to be able to have the subcategories listed in the center.

Thanks.

Also, now that I have the subcategories, I can't do a sale for that category. Any suggestions? Do I have to click each subcategory that instead of just the main category?

View source shows this:

which indicates that your template's maker disabled the function permanently. It should be possible to find the file and replace code from a stock version. I have to leave now and can't take any more time tonight - will be back tomorrow.

Thanks for looking into this and helping me, I will look forward for your assistance tomorrow. Thanks again!

I was wondering if you found a stock version that I could copy whatever code or source is needed to make my subcategories show up in the center.

View source shows this:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any --> <!-- hsyong remove categories thumbnails --> <!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

You should still have the original versions of all files in /template_default/ folders, or plain /includes/modules/ or language folders, as long as your template was built correctly using the template override system.

You can quickly find the file that needs repair with Tools > Developers Toolkit. Paste
hsyong remove categories thumbnails
in the lower left box, select all files and search. This should be a /your_template/ file; look in the same path in /template_default/ or non-template folder to find the original code.

When I find this original code.... where do I add it? And will this mess up the template I'm using at all?

This is what I found in the tpl_index_categories.php

Line #65 : <!-- hsyong remove categories thumbnails -->

What do I do next to make it so the subcategories show in the center?

The stock tpl_index_categories.php has this:```php

I did, and it worked, thanks so much!!!

I got the subcategories to show up in the center doing what you said, however, now they are on the main page too, all of them. I only want them to show up in the center when the customer clicks on that category.

How can I get the subcategories to not be listed on the main page, only when they click on that category that has subcategories.

See store to see what I'm talking about http://stufftoscrap.com/store

Configuration > Layout Settings > Categories - display on main page > set to false.

thank you so much! it's perfect now! :)
