 * Good afternoon!
 * Are business owners able to select more than one category for their business 
   when they create their listing? If so, how?
 * (I know it can be done from the dashboard)
 * Thanks for an excellent plugin!

 * Hi [@sheldon-64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheldon-64/)
 * Thank you for reaching out about this. I’m Bobbie from the customer success team
   and I’m happy to help with this.
 * You can enable multiple category selection in the BD Plugin, no problem. To do
   this, go to Directory > Form Fields then select the Label/Association you are
   using for categories. Once you are there, choose Edit. Under field type, choose
   a Multiselect List or a Checkbox. Save changes, and then your listings can be
   put in multiple categories.
 * You can also learn more about that in our Knowledge Base here: [https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/manage-form-fields/](https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/manage-form-fields/)
 * Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
 * Best,
 * ~Bobbie

 * Thanks Bobbie! Yes, that answered my question.
 * Next question was how to export – import nested categories, but I see that is
   not possible.
 * Thanks again!
