Categories and the Navigation Menu in Magento

Categories and the Navigation Menu

If a Category is an Anchor Category, then it appears on the NavigaNon Menu. The term "Anchor" makes the category sound as if it must be a top-level category. This is not true. You can designate any category as an Anchor Category. Doing so puts that category into the NavigaNon Menu.

When a shopper selects a normal Category from the NavigaNon Menu, its landing page

and any subcategories are displayed. When a shopper selects an Anchor Category from the

menu, Magento does not display the normal list of subcategories. Instead, it displays the

Atributes of all the Products in that category and its subcategories. Instead of moving down

into subcategories, the shopper uses the Atributes to filter all the Products in that Anchor

Category and the Categories below it. The NavigaNon Menu will not display if:

◆       You don't create any Categories, or

◆       You create Categories, but you don't make any of them Anchors, or

◆       Your Anchor Categories are not subcategories under the Default Category.

The NavigaNon Menu will display only if:

◆       You have created at least one Category

◆       You have made at least one Category an Anchor

◆       You have made the Anchor Category a Subcategory under Default.
