Accidentally removed categories from main page and now are under items. Can they be restored?

I had set up special categories on the front page of the online store. Somehow CATAGORIES was deleted from that page and put on the items page. Is there a way to restore this without setting up again?

Hey there, @babesofmudaf - 

Welcome to the Community. 

Go to the Edit Website button on your Online Store. At the top of the page, you will see a drop down menu with different sections or pages. That's where you can add your categories again. 

Where on the main page did you have your Categories before? 

I will keep an eye out for your reply👀.

It sounds like you are talking about your Shop All page, @babesofmudaf. In the website editor, click on the Pages dropdown and then click on Shop All. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, you can add that to navigation by clicking the "edit navigation" link on the bottom of the sidebar when viewing the list of pages, then using the Add navigation link option.

Yeah, with your help, I figured it out. There was one extra step, but you got me to the edit menu! Old minds, new tricks!

Not a problem! What extra step did you take? I'll edit my reply to include it. 🙂

In "Add", "Categories" is greyed out, can't be clicked. We want to restore our categories. Possible?

My category page is greyed out too. And that removed all the categories where they can not be linked to a page.
