Hello,
I encounter a problem on displaying subcategories in a mega menu. I created a category with 10 sub categories. I would like to display all the sub categories in my mega menu except that it only shows 5 (lack of space). Is there a way to display all subcategories in a mega menu?
thank you very much
Hello,
The mega-menu was created to only show 5 sub-categories on the newsmag theme. You can increase this number from the theme code if you add your preferred child category number like so: http://screencast.com/t/q9vGCz2EGP2
It will require further customization for all your menu items to show in the mega-menu but you will have to hire a developer to make the proper adjustments if you do not have the proper skills to do so.
Thank you!
Thanks for this explanation. I’ve made the following change in the indicated file:
$td_subcategories = get_categories(array(
'child_of' => $category_id,
'number' => ‘6’ //$show_child_cat
));
But still only 5 sub categories are shown in the mega menu.
Bogdan B. you mention that further customization for all the menu items to show in the mega-menu are required. I am pretty new to the theme. So could you indicate what these further customizations are?
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
The modification you made is correct and it works fine on my end. However you will not be able to show a very large number of sub-categories as they are positioned horizontally under the mega-menu. That is why i mentioned it will need further customization in case you need bigger numbers displayed. That will need a menu-like structure to be created.
Please make sure you clear your cache after you make the modification if it will not apply immediately.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your quick reply. After I’ve made the change I cleared the browser cache and there was no change visible. Also I had W3 Supercache disactivated. But when I checked one day later the changes were applied. So there is probably a caching layer on the server where I am not aware of. Will check that.
Thanks again
