    I am trying to create a menu like your demo page here:

    http://mprmdemo.getmotopress.com/

    I want to have on page for categories, the user can click on a category and see all the menus under it. I can get the first page with a grid view of categories. However, when I click on each category, the items under it do not show up correctly (no image, etc.)

    I can successfully display categories and menu items on one page, either grid or list view. So I assume all the categories and menus are setup correctly.

    Also, I notice on the demo page:
    http://mprmdemo.getmotopress.com/ there is a categories menu/page. How is that being created?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Navigate to Dashboard > Restaurant Menu > Settings > Display and choose view of your categories in “Display categories and tags” option.
    Let me know if it helps.

    Thanks for the reply.

    In Dashboard > Restaurant Menu > Settings > Display, is there a page template I need to use? Currently, I only have default under the drop down.

    You can check the testing site here at http://www.eatwhere.info. After click on categories, then click on Lunch, Dinner, etc. The format does not look good. Also, the buy button does not show up.

    What am I missing? Thanks!

    Navigate to Dashboard > Restaurant Menu > Settings > Display. Choose Grid in “Display categories and tags” option. Press Save. Try another theme if it won’t help. We use twentysixteen on our demo website without any tricks.

    After setting it to Grid, i still need to create a page called “Category” with the short code to display categories, right? If not, where does the category page comes from?

    My question is, how did you generate the “Categories” menu item with the drop down? Did you create another page?

    Follow these steps:
    1. Create several categories and assign your items to these categories. You can choose categories on the right side of ‘Edit Item’ screen.
    2. Navigate to Appearance > Menus
    3. Press ‘Screen Options’ button on the top

    4. Check all checkboxes with the ‘Categories’ name

    5. Scroll down and you will see Categories in the list of available menus
    6. Add categories to your menu, save

    Have I answered your question?

    Thanks for the reply. I got it. It is the issue with that specific theme. Other themes are working fine.
