subcategories for multiple category menu item was created by alona
Hi!
I am building a site where I choose 2 categories to a menu item. these 2 categories have subcategories, but I noticed that they wont show, only if I choose one category to the menu item they appear, but with two categories for the same menu item hides the subcategories.
I wonder if it possible to enable that option somehow cause it is very basic option I think......
Thanks!

Hy,
select your Categories in Menu, below set "Fetch items from children categories" to "Yes" and also your Layout options.

Also do not forget to disable "Catalog mode" in the category's settings.

sorry, I dont need to see the items of the subcategories, I ness to see the subcategories themself.
like this: Parent Category-> Subcategories + Parent Category2-> Subcategories2 all in the same page under the same menu item, I already tried the catalog view(on and off), didnt work for me, maybe Im not doing something right? :(

In the category's settings there are settings for showing/ hiding the subcategories blocks.

yes, the subcategory blocks are checked as "show".
I will try to explain better: I have a menu Item, under that menu item i want to show 2 categories: X and Y,
under each category I have something like 5 subcategories, those subcategories are not showing if the parent categories are under the same menu item, only when I choose one category the subcategories of that category are showing but when I choose X+Y under the menu item I see only the items of the subcategories and not the subcategories (with the title and description).
I hope it is possible to undertstand my problem....

If both your categories are under the same menu item, then the category's settings are not respected.
The menu item's settings are being used instead.
If you want to show multiple categories in a single menu item, you need to edit the menu item's settings. Unfortunately these options are only available in the single category options.

Thanks for your help ,
I really need some solution for this one, maybe a module that can bring the subcategories? like mod_k2_contant but with an option to choose more than items only? or a plug? something? can u recommend ?
Thank u so much!

You can use a menu module and use the menu's images and notes to include your category image and description.
