Hello nicolas - Thank you for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, the directions are not that clear, at least for me.
I created three categories, then added one test product to each. While attempting to list the categories via a menu link, I somehow created one vertical (1 column) and one horizontal (3 columns) list. While trying to remove one of those, I somehow managed to create a second horizontal category list. So now I have two horizontal categories lists, and I really only need one.
In the categories there is one product assigned to each. No matter what I have tried, I cannot get the products displayed on the frontend. Is there a step-by-step guide for Joomla 1.6 that I can follow to setup my site? At this point I plan to completely uninstall HikaShop, reinstall it and follow any steps I am given, or search for another solution. I am not saying your product is bad, it just seems to be much different than what I am used to working with when it comes to initial configuration. Thanks again!
