IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN REMOVED.

As of February 2021, we have removed the ability to have images / banners in the category tree flyout menu. This was done due to the feature having a negative impact on system performance and stability. We have seen significant increases in system performance since removing the images. We apologize for the inconvenience, but think you'll agree that reduced system outages and slowness are worth the sacrifice.

Note: The following instructions apply only to newer websites which have the "truncated category tree flyout" as illustrated below. This article will teach you how to update the banner/graphic.

Note: We design banners and social media images for monthly releases. Find banners and images here: Go to Downloads > Marketing Materials

There are currently two different methods for updating the graphic, and the correct method will depend on when your website theme was last updated.

METHOD 1 (newer sites)

Step 1: Go to your Admin panel: Inventory > Categories, and click on the parent-level category for which you would like to add or update the flyout image.

Click the "Choose File" button to browse your computer for the image you would like to use. Confirm your selection in the browser popup.

Note that your newly selected file name is shown.
Click "Save Category"

The page reloads and shows a confirmation message that the changes were saved, and you will see the thumbnail image of the new graphic you uploaded

Reload your website and check the category tree flyout. The new image should appear.

METHOD 2 (older sites)

Step 1: Go to your Admin panel: Inventory > Products and search for the folder Category Tree Banners (usually added under Banner Manager), click Search.

Step 2: After the search is done, you will see the list of category banners available. Find the category that you want to update and click Edit.

Step 3: Upload the image and click Save. The banner/image/picture will be automatically displayed on your website.
