    Is it possible to display same category in 2 CPTs?

    I have tried to have 2 category_id in csv, however, records goes into the category under declared post_type only, even I specified the category_id which is in other CPT, it won’t show. Any method to make it happen?

    No, categories are not shared between CPTs.

    No, just once for each category. 😉

    Yes, i mean one load per CPT.

    Good to allow cross CPT to reduce data redundancy tho.

    It is not redundant because they are different categories, even if the Title is the same.

    What i mean is, in fact, they are duplicated records, apart from category, everything else the same. If records can take multiple cpt, in db, it is just one row of record instrmead of multiple.

    That raises me another question. If during add listing, user choose multiple categories, will this new listing be duplicated into number of rows depending on number of categories user selected?
