Hi
I am struggling with how to add Categories to a mega menu.

I can add products but it seems like I can’t add Categories, I am sure this is possible but having spent several hours on this I can’t work it out.
Any chance you could explain how to do this, I have followed several tutorials but still can’t add Categories from the drop down see attached image.

The menu is called: V2 Jacks XShop (from appearance > Menu)
The mega menu template is : V2 Jacks XShop E-Liquids

I am trying to link Freebase Nicotine E-Liquids to display the category Freebase Nicotine E-Liquids.
The category is set up and there are products assigned to it.

Any help appreciated as I have quite a few of these to do.

Thanks
Nick

Hello Nick,

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. A 404 error usually indicates that the page or link cannot be found. Please make sure that your permalinks are set correctly in Settings > Permalinks, and then try to re-save them.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team

Hello,

We recommend that you disable all third-party plugins that are not included with XStore (https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/plugins/included-plugins/). After doing so, please clear your browser’s cache and check again. It is possible that one of these additional plugins is causing the issue.

Warm Regards,
