 * What does it mean when you ‘Parent’ a category? And can you have multiples(because
   I’ve tried that, and it doesn’t seem like it’s working)? Thank you

 * If I understand you correctly, it means that you configure Category X as being
   a child of Category Y. Each child can only have 1 parent but parent can have 
   multiple children.
