Example: * `[str_replace("|","",{category[1]})]` * > the second issue can I integrate category from XML file in a specific category > that I have in my store ?? * Yes – WP All Import converts the category name that you import to its slug value and searches for existing categories to use before it creates it as a new one. If you’re trying to match an existing child category then make sure to import the full hierarchy: [see documentation](http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/taxonomies/nested/). * Thread Starter [rafiktech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafiktech/) * (@rafiktech) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-my-categories/#post-12280901) * thank you for your reply * I tried to write this function a lot of times without successful * like this in the function editor * [str_replace(“|”,””,{KategoriAdi[1]})] and show me error then in this * [str_replace(‘|’,’ ‘,'{KategoriAdi[1]}’)] * not work * see this image * [https://ibb.co/C9CB97V](https://ibb.co/C9CB97V) * for the second issue I mean if I have my own category how I can insert the products in that category the example B in the documentation I don’t know what I should write in that filed!!! * from where I will give the wpallimport my category??? * Plugin Author [WP All Import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpallimport/) * (@wpallimport) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-my-categories/#post-12280991) * Hi [@rafiktech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafiktech/) * > I tried to write this function a lot of times without successful * This is a core PHP function, so you don’t have to put anything in the Function Editor, you just need to call it from the category field. It should be: * `[str_replace("|","",{KategoriAdi[1]})]` * > for the second issue I mean if I have my own category how I can insert the > products in that category * I think we’ll need to see your data file and a manually created example of the existing category to properly advise on this. Please manually create the category you’re trying to import into on a demo site at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/), then open a ticket at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/) with the details (link to demo site, copy of import file, etc). * Thread Starter [rafiktech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafiktech/) * (@rafiktech) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-my-categories/#post-12281034) * thank you for your reply * the problem when I add the function as you write the editor shows me this error message * [https://ibb.co/w43Z7yP](https://ibb.co/w43Z7yP) * and this one of my product to look for it * [https://ibb.co/qspXhg6](https://ibb.co/qspXhg6) * Plugin Author [WP All Import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpallimport/) * (@wpallimport) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-my-categories/#post-12305769) * Hi [@rafiktech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafiktech/) * > the problem when I add the function as you write the editor shows me this error > message * The function needs to be in the import template inside the “Taxonomies, Categories, Tags” section, not in the Function Editor.
