Hello @Mr_Macaroni 

 

In this case, please verify configuration of category. If all fine then check with redirect rules under below path:

Marketing > SEO & Search > URL Rewrites

Kindly refer below link:
https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/marketing/url-rewrite-custom.html 

 

It may help you!
Thank you

Re: Category Links directing to Home Page

Doesnt seem to have an effect if I update the URL rewrite , still takes me to home page. 

 

Also The Categories showing up on the main page is sub category , if I create a root category it does not show up , is this normal ? 

 

I think maybe the theme is broken , how can i check if its the theme thats broken ?

Hello @Mr_Macaroni 

 

The root category will not be shown on the front end it is the default Magento feature.

for category re-direct issues Can you please change the theme to do that go to
content > design configuration 

Select the store and change the theme to LUMA or blank
Then run the deployment commands and check the category URL issue.

May the category URL issues is with your new theme.
