I want to make 2 parent categories and attach to them same sub category

Question

I want to make 2 parent categories and attach to them same sub category example:

• category name:"gift" --> subcategory name:"photo gift"
• category name:"gift for dad" --> subcategory name:"photo gift"

Same sub category in 2 different parent categories.

Can it be done in Magento?

Answer 1

No, a sub-category can't be linked to multiple parent categories.

You will have to create two separate sub-categories. So, you would have this category structure:

• Gift
  • Photo gift (1)
• Gift for dad
  • Photo gift (2)

And you would have two 'Photo gift' categories.

However, you can link a product to multiple categories. So, you can configure both sub-categories so that they will look exactly the same.
