-- url of the page with the problem -- : mywebsite.com/mypage
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.27
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : XXXXX x.x.x
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error_message

I am setting up a new shop which will ultimately contain a few thousand products spread across over 200 categories. Some of these categories need to be accessed via different parent categories. Is this possible? and if so, how can it be achieved.

The structure I am looking for is as follows:

Parent Cat 1
--Sub Cat A
--Sub Cat B
--Sub Cat C
Parent Cat 2
--Sub Cat B
--Sub Cat D
--Sub Cat E

So Sub Cat B can be accessed either via Parent Cat 1 or Parent Cat 2 as an example.
What I do not want is to have to duplicate categories unless it can be avoided

Hi,

You can't have multiple parent category for a category.
What I would suggest is to create the same category twice (let's say sub cat B) and then add your product to those two categories. The illusion should be perfect :)

Hello,

Please create a new thread for your request ; that thread is more than 3 years old and you do not have the same question than the topic of that one.
