The product category "12 " could not be found in the database. Products imported and using this product category will be linked to the main product category.
5 products found : 5 new products imported, 0 invalid product code, 0 already existing products


I just imported a few products as a test and I got the error that category 12 did not exist. Unfortunately, it does exist. In fact it is a top level category while the otehrs are sub-categories.

Any reason for that?

This is the CSV I used:

categories Spelled	                                   categories
Apparel ,Women,Tees & Tanks	            12 ,18,84
Apparel ,Women,Tees & Tanks	             12 ,18,84
Apparel ,Women,Tees & Tanks	              12 ,18,84
Apparel ,Women,Tees & Tanks	               12 ,18,84
Apparel ,Women,Tees & Tanks	              12 ,18,84
The column on the left is a mnemonic device I delete right before import.


Apparel = 12
The import worked great for categories 18 and 84, but not for cat 12. I find it bizarre. I moved from spelling out the category name to the cat ID because when I tried yesterday it created brand new categories at the top level, duplicating the subcategories it should have imported into

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

That's because you have a space after the number and before the comma in your CSV.
