I would also like to be able to do this where if you click 'Shop' in the navbar, it takes you to a landing page of categories.

Please see the following.

Let us know how it goes.

I was able to make the dropdown clickable again by adding "shop-all" to all categories so it is linked to the hidden actual shop, e.g. "shop-all/necklaces" etc. as a link.

The "Shop" folder in the navbar is not clickable though.

 I searched the forum and tried this:


BUT that interferes with the background design of the dropdown and makes the first page of the "More" dropdown invisible as well.

So now I added another page to the drop down "All Categories", which is a hidden page and I would like to be the landing page when clicking on Shop (in the nav bar).

Can someone help with this?

You mean clicking Shop >> It redirects to another page?

THANK YOU for replying. No I don't want it to go to an external page.

The SHOP button in the nav bar used to be linked to the CATEGORIES page (in the not linked section). However, that way I was not able to have a drop down.

So creating a SHOP folder, which is now in the nav bar, allows for the category drop down.

Now I would like the SHOP button to be clickable and bring you to the CATEGORIES page (to have an organized overview of the categories with cover images for each one) like before. Right now clicking on SHOP (folder), brings you to "Couldn't find page".


Attaching screenshots to make it more visible.

Yes, that is my problem. For some reason I can't link anything to it.

Can you help w that?

"Shop" will use First Dropdown Item url (I guess so). So you can try change url of first item
