@RhoRho You're missing patience. It can take up to 72 hours to appear (sometimes longer it depends - there's a lot of magic that happens behind the scenes)

Make sure they have an Category Thumbnail assigned to them

Have faith and they will appear eventually

OMG thanks sooo much for an answer, I kinda suspected it may take some time but I spent pretty much a whole day searching for answers and trying to figure it out and I am just relieved to know that It's not me!!! 🙏

@RhoRho 

Also make sure in your store's advanced settings that the 'categories' has been moved from the left Hidden to the right Visible (press add) then scroll down the the bottom and hit submit to save

@RhoRho then it's just a question of waiting for them to appear 🙂
