    Hello,

    I would like to create a menu with tabs that correspond to specific categories. For example: Men, Women and Children
    Each tab should represent a category, and when clicked, it should display all the products in that category.

    Could you please guide me on how to achieve this with the theme? Specifically: minimal fashion02

    Is there a way to link menu items directly to product categories without having the same display like the shop page page ?
    My goal is to display the page of each menu tab as a home page (a page with a few items), then create a “More” button in the corresponding tab, and not as the result of category-based filtering based on a skeleton display of the store page.

    My “More” button will return the result of category-based filtering, with the store page as the skeleton.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    I have already tried this tutorial, but nothing as I want, or describe to you above: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/menu-set-up/how-to-enable-product-categories-for-menus/

    Hello, MiguelFlorian,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Could you kindly provide a live example of the desired result?

    At first glance, it seems that you may need to create the pages with the desired content and then add them to the menu. Could you please clarify any specific questions or challenges you are encountering in this process?

    We are here to assist you.

    I said that :
    On my main menu, I want to have tab menu (men, women, kids, and shop).
    I want to setup a page which displayed a specific items relate to this selected tab.
    If I click Men on tab menu, my site will display content and few (10) items about men products with a “load more” button. I remind you that on each item I can make adding to cart or checkout quickly.

    That’s what I want.

    But what I have now, it’s a tab menu that when I click on it, it displays me a filter on this category with the shop page as a skeleton page like I show to you on attachment or I don’t want this kind of page.

    Hello, MiguelFlorian,

    1/ While working on your website’s Dashboard, we have encountered a recurring issue where an “Error 500 – Internal Server Error” is displayed periodically. We kindly recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to address and resolve this issue.

    2/ Additionally, please downgrade the PHP version to 8.1 or 8.2 and let us know.

    3/ Currently we can’t open Screen Options in Appearance > Menus, and errors from 3rd-party plugins are shown. For example – https://prnt.sc/1Jc0ri6AjEqT https://gyazo.com/8f7693b94e69f4eee0d6e9e2dd4e3d43

    Thanks for your anwser,

    But let me tell you that I’ve since activated “Product category” and this option doesn’t suit my purpose. Let me explain again, I don’t want this type of display as I’ve sent you an image (Screenshot of 2024-12-01 16-52-11.png) because this display is inherited from the store display, this display is the result of filtering based on a specific category of the store page (This gives a deja vue effect, as if it were a single page). I’d like to create a new page where I can display items for men or women, depending on the menu tab selected.

    Hello, MiguelFlorian,

    “I’d like to create a new page where I can display items for men or women, depending on the menu tab selected.” – go to Pages > Add new > add page title and content, for example, Products grid element where you select the desired product category https://prnt.sc/Bid5wyZMKLLu > Save. Go to edit menu > add the page to the menu.
