You can only do that by hand, and you must edit the “catalog.xml” file here: app > design > frontend > default > deault > layout > catalog.xml

Do a search for “Product view” and look for page/2columns-right.phtml some lines below. You can change that to one of the available layouts

The simplest one is when you do forget to mark a category as anchor.  In that case, it does not show up in the home page menu.

The other case is when you make your category outside of the default category tree. All your categories must be created under the default category parent tree node.

The third and more difficult case was when i deleted the default category for some reason. I recreated a root category and followed the instructions above, but with no luck.

The solution was to go to “System -> Manage Stores” and click on the Store Name. There is an option there where you can choose the right “default category” for the specific strore.

I had to manually change the urls in the browser every time i browse from page to page, but when i finnaly got to the right one, the buttons did not work.

So i had to do it in another way. I went to my phpadmin page in order to access the database. I manually edited the “web/unsecure/base_url” and “web/secure/base_url” fields in the “core_config_data”  table.

I refreshed my page but still no luck. Perhaps it was the cach. But how could i change it?

Manually again!

I went to my ftp client and accessed the var/cache/ directory. I deleted everything inside there and voila!

Be sure to save the modified file in UTF-8 encoding

The solution is to make some modifications at “app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\navigation\top.phtml”

and add a piece of code like:

<li class=”level0 nav-cat1″>

<a href=”http://localhost/test/index.php/yourpage.html”><span>Your Page</span></a>
</li>
