    Hello,
    A question that has been on my mind for some time;
    You can place a product in multiple (sub)categories but you can’t place a subcategory in multiple categories?
    There are several situations where this would be useful.
    Is there any way to be able to do this anyway?
    I like to read it,

    Hello @cloontje,

    Sorry, but I’m not sure if I’m getting the full picture here. It is possible for a subcategory to act as a parent category for another subcategory, in other words, a subcategory can have its own subcategory.

    If I misunderstood your question, then please attach a couple of screenshots to help us get a better understanding of what you’re trying to achieve. :?)

    Feel free to use Snipboard to upload screenshots.

    Look forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello Saif, that’s not exactly what i means.

    Let me put it this way, i have a categorie: “animals” with the folowing subcategories: “dogs” “cats” “rabbits” “fish“.
    Then i have another categorie: “Animals who lives in/on water”
    Subcategorie: “Ducks” “crocodile” “fish“

    Fish is the subcategorie of “animals” and the subcategorie of “Animals who lives in/on water”

    Is it posible to add 1 subcategorie “fish” to 2 main categories “Animals” and “Animals who lives in/on water” ?

    Hi @cloontje ,

    Thanks for providing clarity!

    Kindly note that, by default, a subcategory can only belong to a single main category. Therefore, you cannot directly assign the “Fish” subcategory to both the “Animals” category and the “Animals who live in/on water” category.

    While the default functionality does not support assigning a subcategory to multiple categories, there are alternative solutions available to achieve similar results. One approach is to utilize plugins or customizations that introduce custom taxonomies or hierarchical tags.

    While I do not know of any plugin or custom code that can help you achieve exactly this, and since custom code is outside our scope of support, it may be worthwhile doing a?Google search?to see if you can find anything that meets your requirements.

    Alternatively, for help with custom code, you could hire a developer or ask your customisation questions in one of the channels below.

    Cheers!
