Guys, please help me, I struggle a lot and I cannot find anything. I need to add an external link to a category (Menu) from my home page. All what I can find is related to opencart 2.x and I cannot apply those suggestions to opencart 3.x
thanks.
No OC version posted. Although, where is the related instruction topic you found for v2.x releases? More information is needed.All what I can find is related to opencart 2.x and I cannot apply those suggestions to opencart 3.x

sorry for that. I use open cart version 3.0.2.0
here's the 2.x info I was referring to: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=147086

I am not sure how really different are those instructions for v3.x releases ... you just need to head to the header.twig file instead of header.tpl file from the provided path and follow the same instructions ...

What does that explain exactly? According to the posted code, what did you added specifically rather than posting the entire file and where did you added the statement?tried that, but it doesn't work.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Let's test this. Below the <body> tag, add:

Good. Just checking if this issue was rather related to a cache issue which isn't. Where did you added the <li> line below the <ul section I pointed exactly this time?

You are attempting to add the forum link inside the category menu loop which obviously won't provide the results that you need. In order to add a static link inside a dynamic list, more coding would be needed to accomplish this.

What was indicated on the other topic is how to add a link to the header menu but not indicated on how to add a link in the category menu itself.
