Hi Troy,

Please provide us with the access details to the admin area of your website for us to check it further. Also please provide us with more detailed explanation as to what you expected to show up on the front end.

Best regards,

Ivan

I would assume Troy expected to see the categories Balsa Caron Plywood and Test 1. I have the same problem with not seeing my newly added categories.

Would it be correct to assume those categories have no products in them? In that case they would likely be hidden automatically unti they get at least 1 product. 

We would be happy to assist in building a template, or you could approach a development partner of osCommerce. Please pm if you'd like to discuss this further

Correct, now I have added an item the menu comes up, I will play some more.

Yes would like to seek assistance of a template simular to our existing one. Categories down the left hand side. Home page with newly added items etc etc.

Please kindly note the system will likely hide empty categories to simplify user experience.

This is a great feature (I implemented something like it on my own in our old shop). Another way to show the categories (especially useful when you are setting up a new shop) would be ot change the settings for the theme if I understand it correctly under:

"Theme Settings"
"Main details"
"Show empty categories"

Yes that's correct! It is possible to manage its behaviour there.
