Magento 2.2. - Show subcategories on category page












0















After searching online, I found this approach to my problem of showing subcategories inside the category page. The above solution states to create a custom module, and then reference it with a cms-code.



So I created a static block with the reference cms-code inside it, and I added the block in a category, using the dropdown menu.



The module seems to work (I inspected the page and I can see there are <ul></ul> html tags), but no list of subcategories is visible.



What am i missing?



Thank you

  • Do you have flat categories enabled in the backend?

  • @Bram No I haven't, but I am thinking of enabling them. Why?

  • Well, I've tried to achieve the same a while back but this did not work while using flat categories. But you don't have that enabled, otherwise that maybe could've been the cause.

  • Nope, unfortunately I did not. Topics opened by other users on stack could not help me

If you are still looking for a solution to show Subcategories on parent category page. Have a look at Advanced Subcategory Grid module on Magento2 Marketplace that can be used to show subcategories on category pages, its highly customizable and also supports configurable color swatches as-well.
