Hello All
I have inherited administration of some large (35,000+ products) webstores. A lot of the categories are a mess and others are crammed: 700 items in one cat, or "round" items in the "square" cat. I have been moving prods around and breaking up these huge cats in our zen cart and x-cart shops.
I have noticed that in zen cart when I change the category of a product in my text file and upload using EP, it leaves the prod in the old cat and also copies it to the new cat. I now have hundreds of products all over the place that are linked to their old locations.
It's my fault for not checking earlier: I just assumed that since it showed up in the new cat it was gone from the old.
So 3 questions:
Is there a way to kill these hundreds of linked prods without doing it one at a time? For instance, I know that everything in "square" that's linked has already been moved to "round", so "square shouldn't have any links at all.
Is there a way to swap prods between cats in my EP file, and stop zc from leaving the old one in it's old location?
And if I want to use EP to put the same product in 2 top-level cats, would I make 2 line items for it in the text file, one for each category?
TIA
