I'm working on another site converting it to WordPress. Their current site: https://www.alkydigger.net/ - (Dreamweaver) has the "categories.php" showing on the home page. They would like to keep this on the new design. I see you have "ECT Home Page Products" - but they don't want to show individual products, they want to simply show all categories on the home page.

Is there a way to do this with a plugin or something similar?

Thanks,

Hi

There isn't a feature to add categories to the home page I'm afraid. I believe it has come up in the Suggestions forum if you'd like to add your vote there.

I see that this is now an option - however, I'm not sure how to implement it on a WordPress site. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to display ALL top level categories on the home page.

Thanks!

Do you have access to edit the code directly on the home page?

I'm not sure I know what you mean. It's just a typical WP home page, I can add code on the "text" tab - is that what you mean?

It's just that you would need access to the HTML to be able to add

<?php
$GLOBALS['recommendedcategories'] = TRUE;
include 'vsadmin/inc/inccategories.php';
?>

I added a plugin which allows adding php code and it worked! You can see it here: https://justduckytestsite.com/

I would like to change some of the css just for this section - but not the other category pages. What's the best way to do that?

You would want to preface the category classes with the container class. In your example that might be

div.panel-widget-style-for-7-3-0-1 div.category{
height:200px
}

div.panel-widget-style-for-7-3-0-1 div.catimage{
max-width:100%
}
