I want to add many categories and sub-categories at once. Is there a way of doing this using CSV or any other option?

It should be done via SQL if you have knowledge with that.

The categories are found in which table?

wp_terms like any category within wordpress and the icon which is the only other mandatory field is set in wp_options.

option_name = tax_meta_gd_place_ID, the option_value is in an array.

I’ll ask to Stiofan to confirm this, as I’ve personally never uploaded categories via sql.

Thanks for your patience,
