 * Hello,
 *  When I have multiple categories selected for a product, it does not matter which
   one I select as “primary,” the category shown on the shop page/product page is
   whichever category is higher on the category list.
 *  For instance, if my categories were as follows
 * -Fun
    -Outdoors -Vehicles
 *  If I select all three for a given product, it does not matter which one I set
   as primary, the product will always show the “Fun” category on the product page.
 *  I’m running the Flatsome 3.2.5 theme by UX themes. It is woocommerce powered.
 *  Here is a link to my site [http://www.shizlist.com](http://www.shizlist.com)
 * Thanks!
