Unable to add a drop down menu in the Main Navigation

Hi All!

 

I am having trouble adding a drop-down menu in the Main Navigation of my site.

When adding a menu header it does not give me the option to add sub-categories. I already have numerous drop-down menus ( Tops, Bottoms, Accessories) Which are then divided into specific categories. I would like to add another menu for Outerwear, which will then be sub-categorized into Jackets and Knitwear but am unable to do so.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated!

 

Theme: Focal

 

Thank you!

Melissa

Hi @MelissaPegasus,

 

Thank you for reaching  out to the Community! I'm happy to provide some assistance with creating drop-down menus within your shop, to get this resolved. To provide some context, the navigation is capable of creating 3 levels of nested navigation. I recommend checking out our Setting Up Drop-Down Menu's document for more information on this. 

 

As the navigation is limited to 3 levels of nested drop-down menus, this may be why you're not seeing the option to add any additional sub-categories. Listed below I have outlined an example of what this would potentially look like, depending on what is looking to be achieved:

 

  • Outerwear (Level 1)
    • Jackets (Level 2)
    • Knitwear (Level 2) 
      • Gloves (Level 3)
      • Hats (Level 3) 

 

If unable to create anything beyond a Level 2 drop-down menu, please Contact Support to allow us to investigate further. 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
