Import categories hierarchy

Hi @bigdropgr,

My file with categories looks like this: https://prnt.sc/12379kk

Since you already have a file with this structure, and it looks like you do not need to import images/descriptions/etc to the categories, I would suggest that you use this workaround: https://gist.github.com/trey8611/b416466a3199f81df0eada8a1f7786c6.

As for the options in this import type, nested/hierarchical categories are covered here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/taxonomies/nested/. Keep in mind that you can build the hierarchy using elements too, e.g.:

{Parent[1]} > {Child[1]} > {Grandchild[1]}

Since you’re importing the full hierarchy, the duplicate child names will import to the correct parent(s).

So, I guess that my upload file should look like this: https://prnt.sc/1237dyo

If you go this route, since you have duplicate names, you’ll need at least these three columns in the file:

• Category Name
• Category Slug
• Parent Slug

Here is an example file for reference: https://d.pr/f/VXSMhH. Note that you’ll import the slug and parent slug in the “Other Category Options” section of the import template.
