PrestaShop how to add a category or cms or supplier or manufacturer or link in the top menu.

This is one of those classic PrestaShop things 😄 — powerful, but hidden in plain sight.
Here’s the clean, official way to add categories, CMS pages, suppliers, manufacturers, or custom links to the Top Menu.

✅ The Correct Way (ps_mainmenu module)

PrestaShop uses the Main Menu module.

Go to:

Modules → Module Manager → Main Menu (ps_mainmenu)
Click Configure

🔹 Adding Items to the Top Menu

You’ll see two columns:

📌 Left side → Available items

📌 Right side → Selected items (this is your top menu)

➕ Add a CATEGORY

1. Expand Categories
2. Select the category (or sub-category)
3. Click Add

✔ Appears automatically with correct URL and hierarchy

➕ Add a CMS Page

1. Expand CMS Pages
2. Choose:
   • CMS page (About us, Delivery, etc.)
   • CMS category (Information, Legal, etc.)
3. Click Add

➕ Add a SUPPLIER

1. Expand Suppliers
2. Select supplier
3. Click Add

📦 Links to supplier product listing page

➕ Add a MANUFACTURER (Brand)

1. Expand Manufacturers
2. Select brand
3. Click Add

🏷️ Links to brand page

➕ Add a CUSTOM LINK

1. Expand Custom Links
2. Enter:
   • Label (menu text)
   • URL (absolute or relative)

Examples:

/contact-us
https://example.com/offers

3. Click Add

💡 Perfect for:

• Blog
• External site
• Landing pages

🔀 Reorder Menu Items

• Drag & drop items in Selected items
• Order = left → right in menu

❌ Remove an Item

• Select it in Selected items
• Click Remove

🧠 Pro Tips (Very Useful)

🔸 Multi-language Labels

For custom links:

• After adding, click Edit
• Set label per language

🔸 Mega Menu / Submenu

• Parent category automatically creates dropdown
• Sub-categories appear inside it

No extra module needed 👌

🔸 Open Link in New Tab

Not supported by default
Needs:

• Theme override
• Custom module
• JS tweak

3. Disable cache temporarily while testing
