Christian, thank you for your review.
The translation is done as usual. Translate this caption in "International / Translations / Modify translations". Select "Installed modules translations", the module and the language. Then translate what you need.
In versions PrestaShop 1.6 and 1.7, the number of columns depends on a theme of a site itself. If you need a custom development for your needs, then contact any programmer. This is an OpenSource module available on GitHub.

Big Thanks, exactly what i needed according that i have 24 categories.
The module is working perfectly on PS 1.7.6.7 and category images are showing well on home page.
(the module display them in 3 colones, i would like 4, even 6, why it is not possible?)
Maksim, i have 1 question : is it possible to translate "POPULAR CATEGORIES".
I am French and i would like to show "CATEGORIES POPULAIRES"

Hello, Mike.
Yes, you need to install a new hook and then to develop the handler for this hook in the module. See the documentation: https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/hooks/

Hello, Juragan.
This module allows to display categories on a homepage, but not products. You ask about your specifics, for which the module needs to be modified accordingly. If you need free help in programming, then contact a forum and ask. Maybe someone interested can help you for free. I always consider a good idea of a new feature that will be useful to most online stores for development. But I am not sure that your feature may be needed by most.

Hello, Skm.
I found out your problem. Today I accidentally discovered it. From the last release at 2019-02-20, a link was provided for downloading the previous version of the module. No one noticed, and did not tell me about it in these several month ;) Now, the link is updated.

Hello, Skm.
Thank you for using this module. Did you installed the latest version of the module (1.5.0)? I just checked again in PrestaShop 1.7.5.1 with default theme - all is working fine. To discuss your problem is better to use the module's topic in the forum.

Hello,
to begin, thx for the free module.
I have this problem: I have installed it (ps version: 1.7.5.1) and I can´t see any image of the category, just a vertical listing with the categories. Am i doing something wrong?

I do not have time for frequent updates. Everybody must understand that I can work on a free module only in my time for rest. So I prioritize. Become the patron to help me work more for supporting and expanding this free module: www.patreon.com/zapalm

This is a very useful module from a very kind man! A very simple module that can be tuned with css to style of your theme. A swipe carousel functionality in the future will make this absolutely great!
