Import Multiple Parent Categories per Listing

    Hello.

    I am attempting to import a CSV file containing my listings data. An individual listing can be included in multiple categories. I have a column in my worksheet called ‘Category’. Each individual category in that column is separated by a comma.

    For example:

    One listing may have ‘category one, category two’. I would like to import these categories separately like this…

    category one
    category two

    Instead it is importing like this:

    category one, category two

    Is there a way to import these listings and separate this into two different categories?

    Thanks.

    Hi @jbourden

    Thank you for reaching out about this. The default category separator is a semi-colon (;) So your categories should be formatted using the correct category slug and the correct separator. It sounds like in your case that would be category-one;category-two but you’ll want to be sure to check the import screen for the correct category slug to use for the column. Please check that on the Import page in the section entitled CSV File Formatting

    You can also learn more about how to do the import in our Knowledge Base here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/csv-import-export/
