Copy Categories 1.6 Support Thread. For Zencart 1.5.x
What is "Copy Categories"?
Copy Categories is exactly what its name says, Zen Cart's default category management does not have a "Category Copy Option". Now there is.
This allows the store owner or managers to copy categories to where needed. If a store owner has thousands of categories or sub categories then it can be very time consuming to move or type in new ones one by one. With "Copy Categories" this terminates the the manual moving or creating new categories.
