Missing category option in page builder

[thethrivinghive]

I'm trying to add a page that is a category but both the category in the pages list and category as an "add" option are not available/or letting me add. Is there something I need to do to turn this on. I've built another website and I could add a category page or a navigation item that was a category... any help appreciated. It's driving me nuts trying to resolve.

Hey @thethrivinghive,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to our community 🙂

It sounds like you might be currently using the "Order Online" template. What you'll need to do to access category pages is change to the "Shop All" template.

Under "Category pages" press the "..." button then "Switch Template":

The change to the "Shop all" template and save by pressing "Done":

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Seamus, that worked! Thank you. I thought it must be something to do with an initial set-up choice I made...thank you. You made my day. 🙂
