How to create new block but different categories

Developers Frontend
1

I added a new block to the side under product categories. But I want to make different links to the new block e.g. books, computer. The prodcut category just copies the same products. I want to make new links instead of books and computer. How do I do that?

You can set up your blocks with ‘Filling set’ to “Manually”. This will allow you to specify which categories appear in each of your category blocks (you would also need to change the existing block and specify its content).

Okay I got it to work but it also adds to the other block on top of it when I do what you told me.

Did you change the Filling on the existing block to ‘Manually’ and specify which categories you want there?

Yes I did.

I am not sure why it is not working for you. Below are screenshots of my setup:

Am I misunderstanding what you are trying to achieve?

How you change the appearance of the menus when set to Manually to look like EMenu?
