Keep all categories in top bar navigation in view on each category page

I have the categories set to top bar navigation. I would like the category navigation (all the categories) to remain in view on each category page (not product pages), with a highlight on the current category the viewer has clicked. Currently on my site when you click a specific category, the entire listing of categories disappears leaving only "all pieces /"*  and the category you are on.    

*Further, I don't understand where the slash mark is coming from either as it is not part of my naming and I would like to remove the slash.

EDIT: My site is 7.1  and apparently this feature was removed, while standard on the previous versions. 

Does anyone have code to make this possible for 7.1

Thanks

Can you share link to category page? We can check easier

Images of my current site. v7.1

1st image shows my main shop page with all categories visible in top view.

2nd image shows category page in this case "spirit eye collection" as you see only "all pieces" remains visible from the category list, all other categories disappeared. 

3rd image, if I set categories to side view. Again the main shop page shows all categories listed.

4th image, the category page in this case "spirit eye collection" keeps all categories in view, with the category in view highlighted (yes this is good), however, there is a header line "all/" that is confusing and I would like to remove. 

So, to recap, in category top view, I would like all categories to stay in view when you click on one of the categories, with the current view highlighted. 
In side view, I want to remove the header line that links to the "all/" since it is already listed in the category list field.

I’m also having this issue.

I would just like the category nav to display at the top on all category pages.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Try adding to Home > Design > Custom CSS

/* Show category nav links */
div.nested-category-tree-wrapper {
    display: flex !important;
    float: none !important;
    min-width: 100% !important;
    max-width: 100% !important;
    margin-right: 0 !important;
}
section.products.collection-content-wrapper.products-list {
    flex-direction: column !important;
    display: flex;
}
.nested-category-tree-wrapper>ul {
    width: 100% !important;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}
.nested-category-tree-wrapper>ul li {
    margin-left: 2vw;
}
nav.nested-category-breadcrumb {
    display: none !important;
}
ul.nested-category-children {
    display: none !important;
}

Hi @tuanphan

The CSS you shared is useful but I'm having alignment issues on the mobile version - any help with a workaround for this?

Hi @tuanphanI'm also having the same alignment problem on mobile: meraguera.com/shop

Thanks!

I am having the same issue with categories not showing in top nav in mobile entirely, or disappearing after a category is clicked. Will SquareSpace resolve this issue for paying customers? Thank you.

I am also running into this issue with the CSS provided. I would appreciate a solution as well.

I'm having this exact same issue too. I tried the custom CSS above and while it goes some way to providing a solution i.e. the product categories top bar is also visible on individual category pages, the formatting doesn't look good and the 'All/' category is still visible. It doesn't format at all on mobile. 

Any more answers/solutions? It seems like a very basic feature that SqSp should have included in 7.1 from the offset.

@tuanphan - Can you help with alignment issues on mobile pease.

I'm using the code posted above.

Thanks in Advance

My alignment problem isn’t as bad as the others but you can see it still. It would be good if it could scroll like in the original template.
