Subcategories not showing on main page - help!

Hi guys,

Using V1.3.9h.

I'm sure there is something simple that I'm overlooking. The issue I'm having is that when you click on a category, the categories aren't showing on the main page. Yet they show below the category in the sidebar.

Website is here:

www dot jdmobsession dot net

As an example, try clicking on category 'Suspension Arms' and you will see what I mean.

I've followed the instructions here after searching:

...still can't get it working?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Pete

Check the last setting in Admin - Configuration - Product Listing. If that isn't it, switch temporarily to the Classic template, as removing that may be a 'feature' of your Template Monster template. Then check your /cache folder for error log messages.

Re: Subcategories not showing on main page - help!

You sir, are a genius, thank you so much! :yes:

So, what happened as follows:

  1. Re-checked code. All looked ok.
  2. Changed to classic template and sub-categories were displayed correctly.
  3. Changed back to current template and they didn't work again.
  4. Checked error log in the cache and there was a syntax error on line 132 of the code, had been there ever since installation, it is an error in the template from Template Monster.
  5. Fixed it by copying across the code from the classic template, all works perfectly now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
