I have downloaded Magento 1.9 from the 1&1 App Center. It's a fresh install that is using the RWD template by default. I am new to Magento but have some web design experience.

My issue is that the top menu is not showing and has never shown. Is it disabled by default? I have one category with one item that I'm testing the store with, but how do I enable the top menu? http://camilouscloset.com/

  • Ok for both categories, the default: CamiLous Closet, and the second: Wallets, I have changed the Is Anchor from No to Yes, and flushed the Magento cache. I refreshed the frontend home page and still no top menu / nav bar.

  • ok lets have a try rename rwd directory situated under app\design\frontend and clear var directory after which you will be shifted to default theme of magento. check whether it is visible there or not. if it is visible then it might be css or js issue of rwd theme .

  • Yes, I have that set. Please see added screenshot. I can't add the screenshot because I don't have enough rep to post three links, but rest assured that the Store Information section is set correctly.

  • I have not installed any plugins or extras. This is a new install working from the default template and settings. I didn't even choose the RWD template, that's the one that came as the default
