    Say I have a Category Roofing.
    It has Roofing Contractors and Roof Painters.

    I also have a Category Painters.
    It has House Painters, Interior Painters, Decorative Painters (whatever those might be…this is just an example.)

    Can I put Roof Painters under both Category Roofing and Category Painters?

    If not, what would be your suggestion?

    Thanks! And watch those Decorative painters!

    A subcategory can only have one parent category. There is no other solution than creating 2 different subcategories. Thanks

    Are you suggesting — in above example — that I create TWO identical Roofing Painter categories, one with Parent of Painters, one with Parent of Roofing?

    Yes, it is the only possible solution: A subcategory can only have one parent category.

    Thanks
