Hello Leec,

The best way to understand the way CCP uses categories is to go thru the example categories that are installed by default.  You can then see how categories can be related to each other.

So any category can be a main category and any category can be a sub-category of any other category.

So if you have a category you created called 'Shirts'.  This in itself could be a main category for other categories to go under.

So under shirts you may have 'Men', 'Women', and 'Youth' categories.  This would be related to the overall 'Shirts' Category.

However, the 'Shirts' Category could also be a sub-category of another Category called 'Clothing'.

So in effect you are just creating categories.  In the relating of categories to one another you are creating main and sub-categories.

While admittedly this may be a bit confusing in writing... by reviewing the examples that CCP uses... you will get a better understanding of how this all works.

I spent a few hours when I first got into CCP just trying things out so I could understand the overall workings of the software.

There is just a slight learning curve once you get started... but after a few days of working with it... things really start to come together!

The reason your sub-categories are showing up on the main menu on the side of the page is because you have the option "Display on Store Splash Page" set to "Yes". If you change this to "No" it will only show up in whatever category you relate it to.

Hope this answers your question.
