The All categories menu is the bar under your shop's header on computers. Its All categories button opens a big panel with every main category, and the bar beside it shows your first 8 main categories as quick links.
Where to find it
It shows by itself on every shop page on a computer, as soon as your store has at least one category. You build it in Admin › Online store › Products › Categories (needs the Products & stock tick). There is no separate switch for it.
How it works
- The bar. Next to the button, your first 8 main categories show as links. Pages you ticked for Menu bar on the home page (after the categories) come after them.
- The panel. Point at All categories (or click it) and a panel opens. Your main categories are listed on the left. Point at one, and its sub-categories show on the right as headings, with their own sub-categories listed under each.
- Each heading in the panel has a See all → link to the whole main category. Under a sub-category, up to 8 of its own sub-categories show, then a More → link.
- A main category with no sub-categories shows See all products in this category → instead.
- Press Esc or move the mouse away to close it.
Example: Rangdhanu Fashion has the main categories "Women", "Men" and "Kids". "Women" has the sub-category "Three-piece", which has "Cotton" and "Lawn" under it. A shopper points at All categories, then at "Women", and sees "Three-piece" with "Cotton" and "Lawn" below it.
Good to know
- Every category shows. The menu uses all your categories, not only the ones marked Popular, and not the Sidebar Category ticks.
- Order. Categories are sorted by the Order number on each category (lower first). Categories with no order come after, A to Z by name. Edit a category in Products › Categories to change it.
- Bangla. When a shopper switches the shop to বাংলা, the menu shows each category's Name in Bangla if you filled it in. Its Icon (emoji) shows next to the name.
- Phones. The bar is for computers only. On a phone, shoppers tap the All categories icon in the header, which opens the All categories page.
- When you save or delete a category, the menu is rebuilt at once. Reload the shop page to see it.
Common problems
- A category shows as a main item but should be under another. Its Parent Category is empty. Edit it and pick its parent.
- The menu is not there at all. The store has no categories yet, or the screen is narrow (a tablet or phone).
