I have a client working on cleaning up their categories list.

Is there a way to designate child categories in the import? Or is that only possible manually through the dashboard?

For instance, “Business Law” might be a child of both “Business” and “Law”…

And if so, how can I indicate this on the import?

Each sub category can only have 1 parent.

You’d have to create 2 separate sub-categories, 1 for each parent.

Thanks

Or is that only possible manually through the dashboard?

I’ve asked to Kiran and we overlooked importing subcategories with the new category CSV import/export feature.

We already added it and it will be in the next version.

I think Kiran already pushed the changes into the development version available on GitHub.

If it isn’t yet, it’s because Stiofan must approve it before and today Stiofan is off. So it could be that it won’t available until tomorrow.

Thanks

Once you created your categories and sub-categories, you can import listings and add: “category, subcategory” in the category field and the listing will be added for both.

But you currently can’t import sub-category via CSV file with the new import/export tool.

Kiran already fixed this and it will be in the next version. There will be an extra field named “parent”. If the field is left blank you add a category if in the field you write a categeory name, the new entry will be added as a sub-category for that parent catgeory.

Thanks
