You need to add the CSS code: .hikashop_category_list_item, .hikashop_product_list_item { float: none !important; } in the front end CSS file of HikaShop that you can edit via the interface in the Display tab of the configuration.

See attached image on how the bmx parts link automatically shows the sub cats. - [ ![LinksOpened.JPG](/forum/attachment/6857) ](/forum/attachment/6857 "LinksOpened.JPG") [ ](/forum/attachment/6857?download=1 "LinksOpened.JPG") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzc1NTM3LWpvb21sYS1zZWFyY2gtYm94LWRvZXMtbm90LWZpbmQtcHJvZHVjdHMtb3ItY2F0cz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86555 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 14 years 3 days ago [\#75784](#75784) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Joomla Search Box does not find products or cats](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/75537-joomla-search-box-does-not-find-products-or-cats#75784 "Hi, I am setting up my cart and I am finding that the joomla search box is not finding any of the products or categories.
