To do this, you will need obtain the category’s identify number (ID). On the Tackthis! Dashboard, click “Preview” to open a new window with a standalone Tackthis! shop. Open a category using the menu bar and you should see the category ID on the URL address.

For example, clicking on the Dresses category would generate a new URL on the address bar. The category ID refers to the text after the word category.

Next, go to “Tack Your Shop” and choose the WordPress.org option again. This time, add ”&cid=(Category here)“ just behind [this].

After this, all you have to do is to copy the entire piece of code and paste it onto the WordPress page you want the category to appear, then insert this WordPress page into your WordPress menu.
