{% hint style="info" %}
Unlike the **styling** configuration (theme configuration), the settings of a theme are always stored in the parent theme. A child theme does not have its own area with settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
The category filter is enabled in the theme settings. You can find this option under Theme settings > Header > [Search](https://themedocs.zenit.design/en/styling/header/search). Enable the Category filter option there.

You can choose an entry point for the category filter in search to ensure the filter structure matches your shop setup. Not every shop uses top-level categories to represent the assortment—some start their structure on a level like “Products” or use a different entry category. By defining a **Category filter entry point (1)**, you control from which category level search categories are considered for the filter.
