Subcategories not showing up

If you go to aaau.com, go to the Plaques section, then Fire & EMS (ignore the menu on the left, we aren't going to keep it expanding like that) you will notice it will only show products. But there are more categories in Fire & EMS, but isn't being shown. Why is this?

Re: Subcategories not showing up

I see them I think???

I do not know exactly how you have this as a general rule:

You can have a category with products OR sub-categories - NOT BOTH

You can have a sub-cat with sub-sub-cats OR products - NOT BOTH

I did not think that the script would allow one to break the above rule??

Re: Subcategories not showing up

You see the categories under Fire & EMS? Not under the left menu (as I said above)? I don't see the categories...

Re: Subcategories not showing up

Let's see if I can paste the left column results here??

Plaques->
  |  Corporate
  |  Fire & EMS->
    |  Full Color Sublimation
    |  Maltese Cross
  |  Perpetual
  |  Photo
  |  Police
  |  Sports

Wow!! that worked better than I thought

This is what I see but I don't know if this is all that I should be seeing

Re: Subcategories not showing up

Yeah that's the left menu like I said. Ignore that menu. I'm talking about how it should appear on in the middle, as other categories do. Example: Go to Plaques. You will see a list of categories (and images) in the middle.

Categories under Fire & EMS do not appear like that.

Re: Subcategories not showing up

Like I said...

Plaques does not have products - just sub-cats

Fire & EMS has products and additional sub-sub-cats

You have this setup differently and it is therefore displaying differently....

Without my setting this up as you have - I can not determine if there is a admin switch that will alter this or not....

You can attempt to toggle likely ones - one at a time and view if there is a change
Or wait until another that might have setup a cart this way that might have some insight
