    I have some categories that have hundreds of sub-categories. What is the best way to create a filter that includes all child categories of a specified parent category? Have tried to use category path but that doesn’t seem to work.

    Just to be clear here. I want to include all products in a feed that are assigned to the child category of the parent category I specify.

    Hi,

    Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us.

    Are those products active in both the parent and child categories? Do they have both “checked” on your product edit pages? When they do you should be able to create an include only filter on the main category.

    Do bear in mind that you can have only one include only filter per feed configuration.

    No, products are only assigned to their parent when there are very few products in their primary category. I was hoping I could use category path (category path short?) with the slug or name but that didn’t seem to catch all of the categories that would meet that criterion. If at all possible I would like to avoid having to do assign all the products to their parent. Do you think this is possible?

    Thanks for your help with this.

    when the main category name is in the URL or category path then indeed it should work, you should be able to create an “include only” contains “main category” filter for that.

    Ok, using Category link works and catches all of the child categories like needed.

    Now that I have a feed for a category and all of its children I need to exclude those categories from another feed (for the same provider). Can I use two excludes on a feed. One for uncategorized and another for the category in the new feed I created (to exclude the products from my main feed)?
