Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help. S")* Hi, The error says that you don't have enough memory and it stops at 50MB. You said that you set a memory_limit of 250M. But since it's stopping at 50MB, your php settings are apparently not done properly. It could come from the images. If they are too big, HikaShop would use a lot of memory to resize them and 50MB might not be enough. So you should try with smaller images. Also it could be because of the way you configured your listing menu. Did you follow the step by step tutorial explaining how to create menus ? If not, you should: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...html#categories\_menu](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/67-hikashop-content-display-front-end.html#categories_menu) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC81NjQ1NS1mYXRhbC1lcnJvci1hbGxvd2VkLW1lbW9yeS1zaXplP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
