It’s great – thanks!

My question is: can I attach the rows to subcategories? I know you have to use category names…but… what if one subcategory has the same name as a different parent category?

Thanks

The issue is not on the name, but on the slug, slugs are unique.

Things
– Fruit
– Cars

Fruit
– Bananas
– Apples

So you’re saying I can’t import rows into the subcategory “Fruit” because the importer uses names? Obviously the slugs are different, but I can’t import using slugs?

I’ll ask to Stiofan if we can extend it to use also slugs.

thx

p.s. Just as a side note, remember that you should always add the parent category too, whenever a subcategory is used.

Thanks,

Stiofan
