Not quite sure how $categories is defined, but if they are subpages:

<?php
$categories = page('home')->children()->visible();
foreach($categories as $category): ?>
  <!-- whatever goes here -->
<?php endforeach ?>

I got error :frowning:

Whoops \ Exception \ ErrorException (E_NOTICE)
Call to a member function visible() on boolean

Th error message means that the page collection does not exist, so page('home')->children() returns false. So please tell us: What are $categories? What is the name of the home page? Maybe post the structure of your /content directory.

Firstly im using shopkit thats my code;

<?php foreach($categories as $category): ?>	
<li class="menu-item">
        <a href="<?php echo $category->url() ?>" title="">
        <span><?php echo $category->title()->html() ?></span>
        </a>
</li>
 <?php endforeach ?>

This $categories command takes all subpages in current page

Ok, if I understand it correctly, the categories are subpages of the shop page but you want to fetch these categories in another page?

You probably then have to exchange home with shop in the code above (not tested)

<?php
$categories = page('shop')->children()->visible();
foreach($categories as $category): ?>
  <!-- whatever goes here -->
<?php endforeach ?>
