Why Hyvä Menus Need Child Clarity

Large Hyvä catalogs can bury child categories behind weak menu patterns:

  • Hidden children — shoppers never see mid-tree categories
  • Mobile friction — nested menus hard to tap
  • Custom theme drift — one-off menu hacks per client
  • Performance fear — heavy mega-menus hurt CWV
Watch for: Keep category trees intentional—navigation modules cannot fix a chaotic catalog taxonomy.

Installation Overview

Step 1: Authenticate Composer

Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).

Step 2: Require the package

composer require toweringmedia/module-hyva-child-navigation

Step 3: Enable and upgrade

php bin/magento module:enable Toweringmedia_HyvaChildNavigation
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Exact module enable name may match your package’s registration.php / module.xml—confirm in the package after install. Production stores should follow your normal deploy process.

Enable Child Navigation

Validate Menu Desktop & Mobile

Walk top-level and nested paths:

  • Child categories appear as designed

  • No Alpine Expression errors

Before go-live: If children missing, confirm Magento category “Include in Menu” and store-view assignments.
