Magento Categories in menu still showing disabled categories

I have got this website located here using Magento 1.9.0.1
http://furnituretree.co.nz/index.php/
If you go to Lounge and Living in the menu it the first column it has two categories saying Bookcases - Over 900 and Bookcases - up to 900.
Both these categories have been disabled in Catalog > Manage Categories (Is Active is set to NO and Include in Navigation Menu has been set to NO)
However both are still showing in the menu.
These have been linked using widgets which I clicked Insert Widget > Widget Type is Catalog Category Link. Anchor Custom Text and Custom Title are blank and Ive selected the Category from the Catalog > Manage Categories area.
Am I doing something wrong? Pretty much I want it so if I disable a Category in Catalog > Manage Categories it turns it off in the menu aswell.
Thanks

Layered navigation is showing in magento categories and subcategories

First of all searched a lot but cant find any solution.
My layered navigation block is not showing in any pages like categories,sub categories.
Using template path hints i saw the block is not getting rendered.
I set is_anchor to YES and also added filterable attributes in admin panel.
But no luck. Its not showing in frontend.
Can you guys please suggest.
I found the solution by myself..my list.phtml had 2columns-right layout.
Most of the ajax layered navigation extension are based on 2columns-left.They only support 2columns-left layout.
So i made it 2columns-left.And now its coming.And the extension i used is MD-AJAX FILTER
Another Option is
GO to the extension layout file and change the reference from left to right. For their layerd navigation block.

Is it possible to use a different navigation menu on some cms pages in magento

Is it possible to use a different navigation menu on some cms pages in magento?
And how to do this?
If you are a developer you can create (duplicating the which one is in use) one theme that does not show top menu but show your custom menu.
Then when you create a new CMS page in the tab design you can choose your new theme for that specific CMS page.

Magento: layouts not appearing in CMS page dropdown

I just installed the Bootstrap template into my Magento install. I uploaded the files, went to System > Design and added the design change. The frontend of my site now displays the theme, but when I go to CMS > Pages and select a page, the Layout dropdown still shows the default/default layouts, not the ones as defined in app/design/frontend/bootstrap/default/layout/page.xml
Any ideas why they are not appearing? Thanks!
It's because Page.xml doesn't define the CMS page layouts for that drop down menu. You can find more information on it here;
magento: remove page layouts
This Inchoo post is a good way to add your own CMS page layout types via a super simple module (one of the answers in the above link takes a similar approach);

How to remove VirtueMart Featured Products from category browsing page

I have used joomla and virtuemart to build a shopping cart in the following link enter link description here
My problems are:
How to remove feature products in that category browsing page?
How to show feature products in a separate page in a separate menu item?
Thanks.
Or you can just go to the VirtueMart component Products>Special products (which will show you a check on the products that are placed as "featured".Click on those products,go to their Product Status tab and just uncheck the box which says "On Special"
1) Featured products can be removed from your browse (category) page by commenting out the line
//echo $ps_product->featuredProducts(true,10,true);
in the following files (which file depends on which layout you're using)
/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/includes/
browse_layouttable.tpl.php
browse_listtable.tpl.php
browse_notables.tpl.php
2) I suggest making use of the VirtueMart Featured Products module (mod_virtuemart_featureprod) and loading the module into an article.
