So I’m the owner of http://www.vintagesewingpatterns.com. Originally I used ZenCart shopping cart software with my site but recently I’ve switched over to OpenCart. I have a little computer knowledge (enough to make me dangerous). I’ve come in to a few issues and found out how to fix them. I know everyone likes to give a snide “google it, geez!” and “well if you don’t know how to fix it why didn’t you just buy software or get a subscription”. I’m an example of what happens when someone gets enough knowledge but not quite enough… I am not a computer doctor, but this is what seemed to work for me.
- The menu wouldn’t show a third level category. So if you require more than one subcategory…. Here’s how to show a third level category on your Opencart. Thanks to THIS website! Want your fourth level category to show? No idea how to do that.
- Step 1: Install VQMOD for your version of OpenCart.
- Step 2: Install this modification to show the third level category: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=21351
- If you’ve installed a theme to pretty up your OpenCart you’ll need to change some code in the third level category XML file. Edit the file in your notepad editor.

This is the file to edit
Step 2: Find this in the code. Replace “default” with the name of your template.
