I am trying to display the sub-categories from a certain category in magento in the left side bar. I found a few solutions saying I have to change the code in app\design\frontend\base\default\template\catalog\navigation\left.phtm but I only have top.phtml and verticalcollapse.phtml. However the code that displays the left column is this getChildHtml(‘left’) ?>. This is in app/design/frontend/default/forest_classyshop/template/page/2collumn-left.phtml.

My question is where can I find the code “left” that should be in the left.phtml that’s missing?

    it’s probably located at app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\navigation\left.phtml.

    Magento will look in Your Template for a file. if not there it will then look in Default for that file. If not there it will look at Base. Sounds like someone has deleted that file in Base.. I would look in app\design\frontend\YOUR_PACKAGE\YOUR_TEMPLATE\template\catalog\navigation\left.phtml
    Then
    app\design\frontend\Default\Default\template\catalog\navigation\left.phtml
