Magento Layered Navigation on Subcategories not shown

Question

On my store I can see the layered navigation on the top level categories pages, but not on sub-categories. How I can show the filters on the sub-categories pages? Thanks.

Answer 1

Probably you did not defined the subcategories as "Anchor". To do this, go to Catalog - Manage Categories. Click on a subcategory, go to Display Settings and set "Is Anchor" to "Yes".

Answer 2

Beside checking:

Edit Category -> Display Settings -> Is Anchor

Also check:

Edit Category -> Design -> Layout Update XML

If the Layout Update XML field has the following code then the layered navigation will not be displayed in the particular category that you are editing:

<referenceContainer name="catalog.leftnav" remove="true"/>
