There is an option through which you can hide parent categories from top menu. Go to categories > Edit category > Data tab and you will see below image.
But above option will work for only parent categories and to make it work for child categories like monitors follow below steps:
Go to file /catalog/controller/common/header.php
Search term 'top' and you will notice 1 occurrence and below code is written.
foreach ($categories as $category) {
if ($category['top']) {
//...... some code written
}
}
You have edit this block of code as below
foreach ($categories as $category) {
if ($category['top']) {
//...... some code written
foreach ($children as $child) {
if ($child['top']) { // **YOU HAVE TO ADD IF CONDITION**
$filter_data = array(
'filter_category_id' => $child['category_id'],
'filter_sub_category' => true
);
$children_data[] = array(
'name' => $child['name'] . ($this->config->get('config_product_count') ? ' (' . $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($filter_data) . ')' : ''),
'href' => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])
);
}
}
//...some extra code written
}
}
And done mark top for each category but not for monitors.
