Adding categories to your website

  • To add a new category, just click the "Add" button under the Categories, enter the name of the category, and click "Add Category". Your category should now appear on the admin.php page.
  • To edit a category, select a category from the drop-down box and click "Edit". Update the name of your category, and click "Edit Category". Your information has been saved.
  • To delete a category, select a category from the drop-down box and click "Delete". When the system asks you if you are sure you want to delete the category, select "Yes". Your category has been deleted.
  • You can add, edit or delete categories at any time. If you edit or delete a category, it will automatically be edited or deleted from any products under which that category is listed.

  • To set a category as a sub category, select a main category from the items in the Parent Category field. Categories already assigned as main categories cannot be set as a sub category, and sub categories cannot be parent categories for any other category.

  • Add a Description and it will display under the category name when you view items in that category. You can use HTML coding for this field.
  • Add Meta Keywords and a Meta Description if you want specific meta tag information to display when you view items in that category. Only add the keywords and descriptions themselves, not the <meta> tags or attributes.
  • Select "Yes" or "No" from the Active field - inactive categories (and their subcategories, if they exist) will not display in the navigation bar. (Note: Products in that category will still appear as active.)

 

  • Advanced - you may need extra help here - please contact me.

  • To display a button instead of a text link on the navigation bar, enter an existing image URL in the Nav Image field, or use the Upload" button to load an image from your computer.
  • To display a header image instead of a category name on the category page titles, enter an existing image URL in the Header Image field, or use the Upload" button to load an image from your computer.
  • To display an image instead of a category name in the subcategory lists, enter an existing image URL in the List Image field, or use the Upload" button to load an image from your computer.
