Prestashop Change name of Category Home


Hello Prestashoppers, today's tip is about a small tip that may take a lot of time searching. When installing a fresh new prestashop version, you notice that the main category is called home. it is a built in category that you can't change from your back office, and mainly it doesn't appear in your front office as well. But when you install a third party module like Top Horizontal Menu, it appears in the menu as Home !!! which is confusing, as it looks like referring to homepage, while it actually points to products categories. So, how we change it !?

1- Open your database using a database management system ( like phpmyadmin ), and backup your database before any changes.
2- Open Table ps_category_lang.
3- find the category with id_category=1, and click the Edit icon beside it.
4- Change name ... replace Home with whatever you want ( eg. Products ).
5- Change link_rewrite ... replace home with whatever you want ( eg. products ).
6- Click Go.

And that's it. Again and again, don't forget to bakup your database before any changes.
