    Default Trying to make new sub category, currently unable.

    Hello all,

    I'm trying to set up a simple subcategory to make my products easier to navigate for my customers. I'd like the tree to look a bit like this:

    Plotters & Accessories > Plotters & Scanners > Manufacturer > Product.

    Right now all my plotters/scanners in the same sub category, but I'd like to further refine this by allowing the customer to choose between manufacturers. However, when I open the Plotters & Scanners category there's no "new category" button.

    What's the deal?

    You can't have products and categories in the same category. You will need to move your products to another category temporarily (you can make a new "dummy" category for this), make your new subcategories, then move the products back to their proper subcats.

    Brilliant, thank you.
