Thanks in advance!!")* you'll have to : - create a new menu item - set the "Menu Item Type" to **Categories listing** - **save** one time - Go to "Hikashop option" - set the "Associated category" to the parent's category of all of the category that you want to display - make sure that your new menu is **published** Hope this will help you.

All that is showing is the title - no categories ![:(](/media/kunena/emoticons/22.png ":(") Also, why does it keep creating modules, eg: Associated products listing for category listing menu 137 Associated products listing for category listing menu 138 Associated products listing for category listing menu 139 Etc...

So if the categories don't have any products in them, you won't see them.
