    have 454 categories, they not going under one another!
    Trying to get menu at top to be top-level-categories only.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Have attached screenshot of CSV, how should I be saving the categories?
    Appreciate any help,
    Thanks.

    You cannot have commas in a category name, that will be treated as two different categories.
    Are you overwriting existing categories? If not, “cat_id” should be empty.
    You should not use Excel: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#important

    Create a few categories in the backend and then export the CSV, then you will see how to use it.
