The theme normally shows all the “sub categories” for a master category, as found in the demo; that is normal:

To *also* have a “drop down” menu, you would need to create that in your menu setup.

So if you have 10 sub categories in “movies” and go to the movies page, it will show all the sub categories at top of page. Very cool.

So that is working normally.

SEARCH BUG/PROBLEM:
I just did a search on your website without any problem on the category pages; but it does *not* work on your home page or the post page, as you said.

Wait for tech support to follow up.

Hi Christopher, thanks for the reply.

I don’t use sub menus/categories.

Thanks

Right. That is the menu setup page. Has nothing to do with your “categories” setup page.

The items showing on the category page on your site is not part of the “menu” it’s part of the site navigation, slightly different thing altogether.

If on the posts > categories page if you have “sub categories” of a main category, those sub-categories will appear on the category pages of that main category as they are doing on your site. So if you have 10 items related to WWE under a “WWE” main topic; then all the topic pages show the full list of related topics from the same main category/topic that page happens to be in.

Not sure that helps or not. 🙂

I don’t have any sub-categories/ parent category too!!

It lists “all” my categories under every menu. I have 32 categories. All are listed below.

Am I doing something wrong?

Then it likely is showing “all related categories” since there are no master categories. I guess this would be normal. Many sites will put topics into categories so that things can be put together in similar topics for dropdown menus.

Not technically a bug, but I suppose you could “disable” the show all categories option somehow.

Works for me since I use main categories and sub-categories, such as having
entertainment > books
entertainment > movies
entertainment > music

tech > software
tech > hardware
tech > whatever

Works great when you have it setup something like that.

In your case, it does seem like a crazy lot of topics to show for each category page.

Maybe tech support will have suggestion on that for your case.

UPDATE-
I have just activated mega menu for survivor series category in menu. you can see that all 32 categories are listed not below it. Its getting pulled from somewhere

Yes, as I said. Normal behavior for the category list on the category pages is to show “related” categories when part of a topic such as “tech’ or “entertainment” or “whatever” … in your case since you have all “master” categories and no sub categories, it shows ALL the master categories since you have no sub categories.

Tech support will need to provide you a fix or option for either not showing ANY topics, or you would need to create sub categories for that to work as shown in the theme demo, and for sites like mine (and many sites) where categories and sub-categories are used.

Put another way: its default behavior is showing all sub-categories in a parent. If there is no sub-category, it’s showing all the parents.

You will need to wait for tech support to be back in tomorrow night/Monday to address possible options for your particular setup. Sub-categories are the “best” way for most sites to group together related topics, and that is how the theme is setup for default.

The only way you can “fix” this that I know of right now, is to create sub-categories for your content; meaning group your existing topics into parent topics. Then when somebody is on a child topic, that list of topics would ONLY then show those other topics in the same child topic list, not ALL the topics sitewide.

Sorry I don’t have a better solution for you.

Thanks Chris, It fixed the problem. Now I can understand this theme. I never had this type of issues with all my previous themes which I used.

Now let me wait for the search button bug.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I just deactivated minify in W3 Total cache and now everything works fine.

search box, sticky menu, and menu bar on mobile doesn’t work when minify is active.
