I have a category A and products P in A. And as menu item I want to show A, not the products of it. These could I display as a sub menu item by displaying products of a category. So how can I make this work?

It is not possible that all your categories have sub categories. It's like saying than every humans have kids. So please read my message very carefully : > If you do not display the products and open a category which do not have sub categories you will just get a blank page.

How can I set only displaying categories? Thanks in advance and best regards Stefan")* Okay, let's try it this way: Category A is the only category. There are no sub categories but products P within A. When clicking the menu item "Shop" I want all main categories (here it is only A) to be displayed. Nothing else - no sub categories, no products. When then clicking category A, all sub categories (currently there aren't any) and products should be displayed. Is this better understandable?

How can I set only displaying categories? Thanks in advance and best regards Stefan")* Hi, Then you need to change the "sub elements filter" setting under the "products options" of your menu item to "direct sub elements" instead of "all sub elements" so that you only see the products directly linked to the current category instead of seeing the products linked to the current category and all of its sub categories.
