Sub-categories changed to parent categories

Hi Chaklader

Sorry it’s not working for you, but you haven’t provided enough information for me to be able to give you much assistance.

Please make sure you’re familiar with:

The ‘category’ section, and then write back with exact details of what you’re doing.

Best wishes

Hi, I have read your Column description.

Now, my case is :

I have a custom category with name ‘customcategory’ and I have some existing custom categories field created. Like category1, category2 and sub-cat1 where sub-cat1 is a subcategory of category1. When I import post with this custom sub-category as sub-cat1.

After that this sub-category becomes a category.

Hi Chaklader

Please show me exactly what text you’re using to import the categories.

Best wishes

Hi,

I am writing only the Category Name, or Sub-Category name, not the slug name in the csv file when importing.

For the above case, I write Sub Category in the customcategory column. And this Sub Category is already existing as a sub-category of a parent category, so it should only goes to the Sub Category.

And then, this Sub Category becomes a category, where it was a sub-category.

And this is the problem. Hope you get it.

Hi Chaklader

Please try using the slug name.

For category hierarchies, I recommend that you specify each item fully. ie

parentslug~childslug:Child

I can’t provide any more support until you give me some real CSV data that I can try myself.

Best wishes

Paul
