Hello !

For this you have to create custom menu and then add the categories in menu items.

Thank you Pramod but the catergories from geocraft do not appear as normal wordpress categories?

 

Hello Leo !


You can get the categories for listing under Listing Categories while creating menu.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Pramod,

Thank you for your reply but I still cannot do it. I tried to create a new menu, which I did, but there is no "Listing Categories" anywhere. Also, I don't know where to place it once I do build it. Do I create a page for the homepage? I really don't understand but need to do this. Can you please screen shot what I need to do.

Thank you very much
Leo

Hi Pramod,

That's ok, thanks - but where do I place the menu? Do I make a new static page and then place the menu in the static page and set it as a homepage?
Thank you

 

Hello Leo !

The best option for your requirement if you want to show a page having all category link on it is
-create a new page of any name
-put all category name on it with a back link of that category page
-save it as static front page.

Thanks & Regards
Pramod

 

Hi Pramod, I don't want to save it as a static front page, I want to have "Categories" in the menu and for them to appear in main part of the website?

Thanks,
Leo

 

Hello Leo !

Hi Pramod,

I have created a page called 'newpage' and a new menu called 'listingsmenu' and added all listing categories. I have both saved.

I want the 'newpage' to appear with listingsmenu but I don't want this to be my website's homepage. I want it to be a link in the mainmenu.

How do I get my new 'listingsmenu' to appear when 'newpage' link is clicked?

Thank you!
Leo

 

Hello Leo !


I think there is a little confusion.
What i mean is create a page and put all categories and subcategories on that page with link.
And add that page on main menu.
when some one click on that page link on menu the page will open and it contains all the categories link.
You have to add all categories on that page manually no query or widget etc. works for this.

Thanks & Regards
Pramod

 

I have tried this, but I still don't know where to put menu or back link. I'm Sorry about confusion

<li class="sub-category-list"><a href="linkofsubcategory2" >Sub-Category2.</a></li>
<li class="sub-category-list"><a href="linkofsubcategory3" >Sub-Category3.</a></li>
<li class="sub-category-list"><a href="linkofsubcategory4" >Sub-Category4.</a></li>

Hi Pramod!

Yes! That is what I want, thank you! Is there a way to have Categories going from left to right and still be responsive?

Also - I didn't know there could be sub categories with this theme, I thought it was just Hotel, Cars etc?

Thank you again!
Leo

 

Hi Leo !

Please paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

li.sub-category-list {
display: inline;
padding-right: 10px;
}
li.category-list ul {
margin-left: 110px !important;
margin-top: -24px;
}

Thanks,
Praveen
