Magento 2.1.4 - Set default root category

Question

The first time I configured the categories, I renamed the default category. Now, I need to change the default category because it is the first category to be shown when I go to the categories menu. So I added a new root category but I didn't see any options to set it as default.

You can make yoru root category as default category by following below steps :

• Logged in to your magento2 admin panel
• Click on Stores -> All stores -> it will display grid for all stores
• Now click on Your main website store listed under the store column
• You will see Root Category option over there -> Select category which you want to make it as a root

Click on save and checked it, it will work
