I found similar questions in the forum but none of the answers seemed to fix my issue.

When I add a 4th category to my site, the last category gets superimposed over the right column on the front page. Is there a way to:

1. Add 6 categories per row. Do I need to change the thumbnail size? Do I need to change the width of the template? How
2. Can I simply add 2 rows of categories? This would be much preferred and my ideal fix.

Thanks for all the help.

the url is www.gotribalnowshop.com

The problem is that the owner will murder me if I put a category up there and have it displayed over the right column. Basically if I publish the category, it gets superimposed over the right column.

Any ideas?

Ok I see, what you'll have to do is open up the categoryChildlist.tpl.php file:

components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/common/categoryChildlist.tpl.php

Look for the below code and change to however many rows you need.  Yes you will also have to adjust the image width.


if( !isset( $categories_per_row )) {
   $categories_per_row = 3;
}
