Under Advanced settings in this menu module, you should select category layout for it:

We mentioned this in documentation of this template already: https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-templates/ja-megastore

Yes, even after that the menu is not showing. Please check again on Home page.

Due to concept of this template, on the homepage, the menu will show all by default only if there is module used in slideshow on the right. Because when there is not module on the right, it will be collapsed and not take the place of other content view. You can see it on our demo site here: https://ja-megastore.demo.joomlart.com/index.php/en/

This position has several issues because of which I am not able to get this template working properly.

Even though I have made the navbar-category position invisible in responsive layout for all screen sizes. The hamburger icon is still displayed in all screen sizes except desktop. This is a big problem because there is no module associated with this position. The desktop view is OK (there is no hamburger icon on the left) but all other views are not. Clicking on the hamburger icon slides in an empty area from left.
If I assign a module in this position and also assign a module in t3-features-intro position (as you said it is required), the hamburger icon does not work correctly for any screen size except desktop. Clicking on this icon slides in an empty component from the left.

So, please tell me how is this position supposed to work. It is not working in any mode no matter what I do. It does not work according to your documentation or your suggest.

Please provide a resolution.

To show the categories menu in off-canvas, you need to enable module in off-canvas-categories position.

I updated for you and see the categories menu now.

Kindly check.

Thanks for your reply.
The issue is that when there is no module in nav-category position, why is the menu icon (hamburger icon) shown on the left side on small screen?? It is not shown on desktop width.

In other words, if there is no module active for nav-category position, the menu icon should not be there at all, right? It behave correctly for desktop width but not for smaller widths. I hope it is clear now.

As I can see that most of our clients will show that categories on mobile too. If you want to hide when no module is assigned, I updated this block:

/templates/ja_megastore/tpls/blocks/off-canvas-categories.php

<?php if ($this->countModules('off-canvas-categories')) : ?>
<button class="off-canvas-toggle off-canvas-toggle-primary <?php $this->_c('off-canvas-categories') ?>" type="button" data-pos="left" data-nav="#t3-off-canvas-categories" data-effect="<?php echo $this->getParam('addon_offcanvas_effect', 'off-canvas-effect-4') ?>">
  <i class="fa fa-bars"></i>
</button>
<?php endif ?>

so it can work that way.

Kindly check.

Yes, it is working now.
Please fix the same for the other hamburger icon on the right also. As of now, two icons are displayed. Only one (the one that slides the menu down) should be visible. The second one (side bar) should not be there if there is no off-canvas module.

a-paul1 If you don't use off-canvas, go to template >> Add-ons tab and disable off-canvas option there.
