How to add categories and sub-categories to the Header dropdown menu?

So, there were a few forum posts regarding this issue, but none of them fixed my problem. On the main page (default template), there is a category dropdown menu. And you would think that you can just add a category or a subcategory to it.

So, you make a category, and it tells you that, in order to use it, you need to add it to the layout of the page. Fair enough. So you head to the Layout tab, and...

yeah, what am I supposed to do here  :( ? I can delete, reorder, and edit the html of the blocks that allow it, switch up the other pages too I guess, but none of them add the category to the dropdown menu. None of the solutions from the forum posts worked for me, so I thought to post again. Sorry for posting for the second time so soon after the first one but I am at a loss here.

Hello,

When you create a category, you don't need to add it to the layout or customize its layout unless you require something custom. All categories use the general layout based on the theme, which is named "Product Listing Page"

Since you have the Novator theme, you need to add some products to the category, and it will automatically be listed in the Novator's "All Categories" sub-menu (empty categories are not shown). You can also add it to the menu as a separate item, apart from the "All Categories" submenu, by going to Admin > Design > Menu (make sure to set the proper sort order).
