I am wondering how I can use a sub category and list it under two parent categories at the same time on the shop menu. Also how can change the text color of those parent categories. I need the pagination at the bottom of the shop page colors changed as well. The box and text color are nearly the same.

Hello,

1) Could you, please, describe me in more details where exactly do you want to show the subcategory? In the main menu as the subitem? http://prntscr.com/nr0piw If not, provide a screenshot for better understanding.

2) If you are using the dark color for the site bg I would recommend you to enable the dark color scheme in Theme options > Styling > http://prntscr.com/nr0q7e

If you go to our shop. We have our shop menu on the side. I would like a sub category to be represented on two different parent categories.

I would like the parent categories on the shop side menu to have a different color than the sub categories below them.

Hello,

Product category widget is the default WooCommerce widget and it displays the list of categories and their subcategories. One subcategory can’t be located in 2 categories, WooCommerce allows the only 1 parent category, it’s not related to our theme. Create 2 subcategories with the same name and add every subcategory to the appropriate parent category. Choose both subcategories for the products if they should be represented in both subcategories.

If you want to change the color of the categories of the first level and the subcategories use the following custom code (Theme Options > Custom CSS) and replace the color by the necessary color:
```
.sidebar-widget .product-categories .cat-item a {
    color: red;
}
.sidebar-widget .product-categories .cat-item .children a {
    color: yellow;
}
```

Okay that is fixed. One last question. How do we access the shop sidebar menu? Is there a way to reorganize its listing?

Hello,

You can add this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS:
```
.header-advanced .header-search.act-default input[type="text"] {
    color:  black;
}
```
Also, read this article https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-pages/ that will help you to setup Cart and Checkout pages.
