 * Hi,
    I tried to categorize a subcategory and was not able to do so. When I tried
   to create a sub-category, it only shows “categories” in Parent category drop-
   down. I needed to select a “Sub-Category” as a parent category. Isn’t that possible
   to do with this plugin or am I doing it wrong? Please help.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Lavmsol,
 * Sorry, it’s not possible to use a sub-category as a parent category. Sub-categories
   can be subsets of categories but can not be of sub-categories themselves.
    If
   you want to experiment with how categories and sub-categories are displayed to
   better suit your needs, you can choose between hierarchical and non-hierarchical“
   Sub-Category Style” in the “Options” What are you trying to achieve? This might
   be possible using tags if you are a premium user.
