How to assign category on multiple products?

Question

I can assign multiple products into a category when I am creating a category, but how can I assign a category to multiple products at once?

I have tried to check multiple products in Manage Products and then Update attribues but I cannot edit category from there. I have also tried Manage Categories too.

Answer 1

• In your backend, go to Catalog -> Categories -> Manage Categories.
• Select the category you want to add products to.
• Click "Category Products" Tab
• Reset the Filter, select your products, Save Category

Answer 2

Addition to Erfan's answer:

If there had been no products assigned to category before, there would be no products at all listed under "Category Products" tab.

Reset the Filter - clicking it is a must even when you see blank list (no products assigned). It will then show all products in whole shop.

Answer 3

An easier option would be - Mass Category Assignment, under manage categories. Helps you allot products throught a CSV file.
