Duplicating or Copying Categories

[okfahad]

Hi, I am making a cell phone store in which I have created a category

accessories >> Batteries
accessories >> chargers
accessories >> etc...

I want to add same sub categories into batteries & chargers and all others with in accessories like the following

Batteries>>Black Berry
...............>>Nokia
...............>>Samsung

There is an option in admin to MOVE Category but unfortunately, I am unable to find any option to make a copy of category into another category or simply duplicating a category with its contents.

Hopefully I can get some help on this forum

I found this answer in the forum for you....

Unfortunately you can't simply copy a category to make a new one.

What you can do is create the new category where you want it, and then copy the products from the original to the new.

If you want the new products to be linked from the original products, go to a product, click the "c" for copy at the right, and at the bottom of the copy sidebar click on "Multiple Categories Link Manager". Follow the directions.

If you want the products in the new category to be separate from the products in the original category, you will need to copy each product individually, selecting "copy - duplicate".
