Magento – Getting 404 error on category page

categoryce-1.8.1.0collection;

I have 2 root categories and subcategories in every one of them.

One of root category(Default Category) and sub categories are showing on navigation menu. It's OK. That's what I want.

The other root category (name: Collections) is not showing in navigation menu and I can't access any collections's subcategory's page. It's getting 404 error.

I think it's related to System > Manage Stores page root category settings. It's saying Root category is default category.

So If you understand what I mean, how can I access not-default root category(Collections)'s subcategories?

In Magento you can only have one root category per store.

If you are unfamiliar with Magento's Global->Website->Store->Storeview Scope structure , try reading something like this: Magento Multi Store, Websites and Storeviews Explained or this:How to set multiple websites with multiple store views in Magento

Long story short. In the front-end you cannot have two Root Categories shown simultaneously. Make two Level-1 categories Root->Default and Root->Collections and move the respective subcategories in there.

Try this:

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/category_collection')
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1) //only active categories
    ->addAttributeToFilter('include_in_menu', 0) //only categories not included in menu
    ->addAttributeToFilter('parent_id', 10)//get only subcategories of the category with id 10
    ->addAttributeToSort('position')//sort by position
;

foreach ($collection as $category) {
    //do something with $category
}

The drop and drag functionality is still standard in Magento.

I created a video which you can view that shows me moving two root categories into a third root category and they become sub categories and visible on the frontend.

Also, make sure your categories are active and set to display: Active

The video and the image were done on CE 1.8.1.0 with Magento Sample Data
