    So, your Template does not displaying SubCategories in menu? Or do you want to have more than 2 to display?

    If it's not displaying then try:Extensions-> Module->Menu(your top menu) -> check Always show sub-menu Items

    Hello.
    There are some subcategories components, but i had never used them.
    I have website betscore.org. It seems like i have sub-sub categories when you check my main menu, but this is not true!
    The trick here is following...
    I have Section: "goal.com" and categories under this section:spain, arsenal, barcelona, transfers...
    So i have all categories under "goal.com soccer".
    The trick comes here:
    When you are creating links to specific sections in Menu Manager you can multi-level them...

    this is CATEGORY LIST:
    [​IMG]


    this is MAIN MENU MANAGER:
    [​IMG]


    I hope you understand what i mean.
    and if you check on my site, those links: Clubs, Spain, england links to "#", so nowhere.
    I could create that lets say Spain would like to all news from Categories about spain clubs, but i would need and extra component and really dont have much time at the moment for coding.

    You can make SubMenu, but not SubCategories.
    IMO using some addon now will make things harder for you later.
    Best thing to do is wait 2-3 months for the next version of Joomla and get this thing solved.
    This is what I am going to do.
