    Default One Product In Multiple Categories

    Im sure that this is all over the forum, however when i search it removes the key words not to be included in the search so I have spent a lot of time looking at non relevant posts.

    I need to be able to set up one product under many different categories.
    Can anyone help me on achieving this please ;)

    When you use the Copy feature, you can either select 1 more Category to copy the Product to as a Linked Product, or you can click on the Multiple Categories Link Manager at the bottom of the right panel that will appear when you hit the Copy icon on the Product ...

    In case you don't know what Linda and Kobra are referring to (took me a while to find that spot when I started! )

    here's some clarification:

    In the Admin go to Catalog, Categories/Products

    Keep clicking through until you get to the category that contains the product you want to link. Do NOT click the product

    In the product list you'll see buttons on the right that read e, x, m, c, a, $

    Click the "c" button next to the product you want to link

    On the right you'll see a "Copy To" sidebox. At the bottom of the box is the "Master Categories Link Manager" button. Click that

    On this page you can assign a product to whatever categories you want.

    If you need to link a LOT of products, Easy Populate can help. If you upload the same product with different category assignments EZ Pop will automatically put them in all the cats. Give each product you want to link multiple lines, one for each category. It even works if you upload multiple files with diff categories.

    I have a main upload file, then when I wanted to create a Valentine's Day category I assigned a few hundred prods to that cat and uploaded. The products remain in their original category, and are also in my new Valentine's Day one.

    Good Luck!
