Category and sub-category listings

Hi - very new to Hikashop. Am trying to set up a site with 4 categories. Each of these categories has several sub-categories. I'm trying to create a page for each category which has an image and a bit of intro text then links to the relevant sub-categories. I think my problem is in how I'm creating the menu items. Have started with the vintage section - when I click on the 'Vintage' category (a top level category) I get a page titled 'product category' and a list of links to the current top level categories whereas what I need is the Vintage category page and then the list of links to its sub-categories to appear. At the moment I don't get this until I click on the 'Vintage' link on this page. Have attached a couple of screenshots to explain plus link to site below...

I'm not sure what I should choose for the type of menu - something half way between a category listing and a product listing but can't figure out how to get this.

Many thanks
Alex

Hi,

In the hikashop options of your menu (that you can find via the menu Display->Content menus in HikaShop) you should set your vintage category in the "parent category" option and that will do what you want.

Thanks for your help. Could you explain a little more where I find the 'parent category' option. Have searched everywhere on the hikashop menu options screen (screenshot attached). Am currently using the most basic Hikashop package. Perhaps it's not available with this?

Thanks
