How can I display both "subcategories" and products under main category?

My site is https://www.kamaainadeals.com

I would like for customers to be able to click on "Restaurants" and then be able to either narrow your choices by subcategory, but also to see a list of all restaurants below the images for the subcategories.

Any Ideas???

Thanks!

Because you have already added the subcategories, you can also add products within the main category. Just link the product from within the subcategory to the main category. I have this on one of my websites. But you have to add the products to the main category AFTER you have already added the subcategories or it won't let you do it. For example you have:

Restaurants > Big Island > Test Big Island Restaurant

In you admin, click the copy button for "Test Big Island Restaurant" and copy the product to the category: Restaurant. Now it will show up under the subs on your Restaurant page as well as on the Big Island page.

Thanks so much!

Happy to help!

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Boy, was I scared for about 15 minutes, until I found this solution! :smile:

Be aware that this risks causing problems with searches, pricing and other aspects of your site's functions. The built-in safeguards are there for a reason - defeating them can be hazardous.

The question i have, and it may be a setting issue as i have changed just about all of them, when i have linked a product to the main category from a subcategory,

the category listing i have is Games > Xbox 360 > Action

i have linked 2 games from action into the Xbox 360 Category, but when i click on xbox 360 is does not show the subcategory listing at the top of the page, now clicking into a category which does not have linked products it does show the subcategories,

do you have any ideas on how to get it to show the subcategories when you have linked products?

Thanks

That's one of the problems you get when you do this. The system is not built to display both a list of subcategories and a list of products on the same page. I don't want to help make this happen, because there are other problems that may also surface that I can't do anything about.
