Hikashop - Products Listing Menu

Hi,

Regarding the products listing, the "Direct sub elements" content type only displays products from the selected category and its immediate subcategories (one level deep). If your category tree has deeper nesting (e.g., Main > Sub > Sub-sub), products in deeper levels won't appear.

To display all products from all subcategory levels, you should change the content type to "All sub elements" instead of "Direct sub elements" in the menu item configuration (Products options tab).

Regarding the filter module, I'm not sure what you mean. A filter module display filters, not categories. If you've configured it to display a filter configured on categories, then the categories displayed in that filter depends on the settings of the filter itself. In the filter, you have a setting to configure which parent category to use and it can only display the categories directly below that category.
If you want to display a listing of categories to be able to select a category among all of them, I would rather recommend you to use a HikaShop content module configured as a listing of categories, like we did in on the left sidebar of our demo website.

Hi,

Looking at your configuration again, the Category setting that matters for choosing which categories appear as filter options is the one at the bottom right of the filter edit page (in the Options section).
In your screenshot from the other thread, it shows "2 Categorias de Producto", which is the root product category (ID 2).

The filter only displays the direct children of that parent category. It does not recurse into deeper subcategory levels. So if your category tree looks like this:

Product categories (ID 2)
> Category A
> Sub-category A1
> Sub-category A2
> Category B

Only "Category A" and "Category B" would appear in the filter, not A1 or A2.

If only 1 of your 6 subcategories is showing, it's likely that only 1 is a direct child of the selected parent category, and the other 5 are nested one level deeper. You could either:

1. Select a more specific parent category in the filter's Category setting (the one in Options), so that the direct children match the categories you want to display.
2. Restructure your category tree so that all 6 categories you want in the filter are direct children of the same parent.

Could you share a screenshot of your category tree in the backend (Products > Categories) so we can see the hierarchy and point you to the right parent category to select?
