BEAUTIFYING A CATEGORY



Make your site shine with the Beautify Category extension.


This allows you to add an image to a category and mark it as a featured category. Featured categories will show up on your home page to drive traffic to these sections of your website.

You can also decide to show nested categories when viewing a category on your website!


Once you have activated the BEAUTIFY CATEGORY EXTENSION, you can manage each category separately and decide what works best for your website.
