How can I increase the maximum sub-menu depth in the Empire theme?

Hello everyone!

looking for some pointers on where and how i can increase the maximum allowed depth of sub-menus within the theme code, i would rather not have to use a plugin for it and am comfortable doing the coding i just need a nudge in the right direction on where it would be located.

Shopify Help chat advised me to ask here but please let me know if this is the wrong place,

Using “Empire” theme

Many Thanks in advance

Hi @Ethanp213 ,

Can you send me a description screenshot of the change? Because I checked and everything works fine.

Hiya,

i have not made any changes, if you look in the navigation on the shop you see it can only go 3 deep, i want to expand this to have atleast 5 deep sub categories.

Hi @Ethanp213 ,

Are you looking to increase this? from 3 levels to 5 levels

This is absolutely not possible, Shopify only supports 3 levels for the menu, so you can’t add more.

Hope it is clear to you.

@LitExtension Yes! Exactly that

Hi @Ethanp213 ,

If you want, you can display it as a mega menu. Refer https://support.pixelunion.net/hc/en-us/articles/360025979773-How-do-I-set-up-mega-menu-with-Empire-

If it helped you solve your issue, please mark it as a solution. Thank you and good luck.

i have been told it absolutely is possible by shopify themselves, but i would have to pay for a shopify developer?

Hi @Ethanp213 ,

Yes, you can install the app for it, but with theme code, it is not possible.

Hope it helps!
