Magento: Display products from childcategories if parent category is empty

e-commerce, magento, php

Solution

Have you marked the category as an anchor category in the administrative interface? That should allow child categories' products to show up in the parent category listing.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Joe

Problem

I have the following categories Car parts (0) Tires (0) Rims (5) Now in the product listing obviously the car parts en tires listing returns 0 products. But for the user this is ankward. Is it possible to show child items if a category is empty? Kind regards
