Under the same category 'General Business Services' I had perviously created many similar sub-categories within Hikashop categories. For example 'IT & Telecommunication related services', 'Business Consultancy' etc I am now wanting to add this sub-category 'Functional Services' under the Category 'General Business Services'. Please can you help me with this as i have created it in the back end but it is not showing up on the front end. I have also added a 5th new main category called 'Functions & People' with sub-categories but that is also not displaying on the home page.

Thanks Ian")* Hi Ian, very difficult to diagnose remotely, but I suspect you may actually be using a Hikashop category module rather than using std Joomla menus like I do. If this is the case then you need to edit the appropriate module and select the menu assignment tab and select the new category and sub categories. That will do the trick.

I have come across a number of quirks like these and sometimes, the quickest way is just to get on with it. The scenario you have described is common for Joomla, not just HikaShop, whereby you need to update an existing modules assignments to get new items to display and has caught me out a few times. Maybe someone else can comment but I'm pretty sure my suggestion will fix your problem?

Are the categories properly displayed if you use a HikaShop content module like the "categories on 2 levels" one which is preinstalled by default ? If yes, then the problem in is the module, if not, then the problem is in the categories themselves. As I said, check that they are enabled. Also, they might not be displayed because they don't have any products, or you have configured them to be displayed only for some user groups. Finally, you can try to click on the "rebuild" button of the categories listing, it might help.

How do I check that the categories are enabled? 3. Other categories and sub-categories are being displayed which don't have any products in them and it configured for public access. 4. Where is this 'rebuild' button? and what will happen if I do that? i.e. will I loose all my current allocation of products to each category? 5. My question is if the main category ' General Business Services' has the same configuration and no change has been made, then why are ALL the other sub-categories being displayed on the front end except one 'Functional Area' ?

Go in the menu Products>Categories, click on the parent category of the category you want to check in the "explorer" on the left, and look at the "published" column value for your category. 4. In the menu Products>Categories, you'll find that button. You won't loose anything. That button can only fix things in some cases, but never break or remove anything. 5. I don't know why. Did you try to display the categories with the "categories on 2 levels" module that I talked about in my previous message ? What was the result ? Did it work ? It would be essential to know that in order to narrow down the possibilities. If it displays find with the module of HikaShop, then the problem in with that 3rd party module you're using which must be missing something. If it doesn't, then the problem is with the data of the categories. The rebuild process might help in that case.

When you said enabled, I was wondering if that was something other that published hence the question. Now I understand they mean the same thing - so resolved. I have now found the solution, it was a simple thing. I had to enter each of the sub-category id's in to the 3rd party accordion component and after doing that they are all displaying perfectly. Thank you guys for your help as it helped me learn to figure this out so much appreciated.
