Please find the steps to create a category and access the category in the URL

  1. Login to the admin Catalog->Inventory->Categories-> click 'Default category' and click 'Add subcategory' and add the category in the Magento. For example, if you creating a category with name 'colors' means you can access the category in the frontend like this http://domain.com/colors.html.

If you have any doubt what URL to access in the frontend. kindly go to the admin, catalog->Inventory->Categories-> select a particular category and goto search engine optimization ->Url key-> here you can find the exact name.

I think you need to assign new Root Category to your currently active store.

To do this follow below guide:

  • Login to back end. Go to Stores-> All Stores
  • Than select your store for which you want to display Root Category.
  • By default It's using Default Root Category Change it and select your Root Category than save.

For More details : Magento 2.1.4 - Set default root category

Reindex data and Clear Cache.

  • Thanks for your help, now its working for me. I have updated the root category to colorsas per above guideline. After that I am able to access its child category only. Here is the URL of one child category of colors category http://domain.com/catalog/category/view/s/brickweb-flats/id/16/ Dec 26, 2018 at 7:58
