Title: Changes to menu in order to add new main category
Post by: buddahboy on February 05, 2014, 01:13:01 PM

Greetings - I need to add a new main category to the menu but don't really know how to change the menu to accommodate it as the whole row is full -- I can change font size a little, reduce padding will also help.  I attach a screenshot of the current menu.  Would appreciate some assistance with this and as usual thanks very much.

Hi Ron,

Don't worry about the number of categories actually - the system will wrap the lines for you.  And it's rather fruitless to be to concerned as each screen size accommodates a different width and the responsive design accommodates them all by wrapping the line.

You can try it by simply downsizing your screen (you know the little box to the left of the close redX)  And then drag the downsized screen larger and smaller and see what the category lines do.

I've attached a screen-shot of your site with a reduced window size so you can see that it already wraps down when the screen is smaller.

Cheers
Lee

From usability stand point, I would suggest to put less categories on the main level (1 row). Many top level categories overload users with options and look bad.

I agree with you opinion eCommerce Core - that's what I'm doing anyway - put the 2 new ones in as sub-cats

Thank you
