The tips related to categories menu

1)disable the Flyout_Menus module

2)or disable ajax menu and delete var/cache dir

modules/Flyout_Menus/config.php
-define('XC_FLYOUT_MENU_TYPE', 'ajax');//Recommended value is 'ajax'
+define('XC_FLYOUT_MENU_TYPE', 'html');//Recommended value is 'ajax'

3)or remove skin/YOUR_SKIN_DIR/customer/categories.tpl file

with Flyout_Menus module enable categories and subcategories were coming but if I click on any category on subcatgory it gives a blank page. And after disabling Flyout_Menus module all coming categories and subcategories were disappered. – Aashi Aug 11 '16 at 06:06

If your use X-cart 5 then categories are displayed by "XLite\View\TopCategories" class.

It is added to "sidebar.single" and "sidebar.first" lists.

If you skin does not display sidebars, then you should add this class to another list. For example, you can try to move class to another list by using the "moveClassesInLists" method:

namespace XLite\Module\Dev\MyModule;

abstract class Main extends \XLite\Module\AModuleSkin
{
    ...

    protected static function moveClassesInLists()
    {
        return array(
            'XLite\View\TopCategories' => array(
                array('sidebar.single', 'customer'),
                array('my_list', 10, 'customer'),
            ),
        );
    }
