Thanks for reply")* Could you tell me exactly what your problem is? Actually, the category tag used by google is just made to fit their specification and help them to determine the product code needed (like UPC, EAN...). But your product categories are already specified by our plugin in the "type" tag, which is (as said on this page [ support.google.com/merchants/answer/1884...en&ref\_topic=2473824](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494?hl=en&ref_topic=2473824) your categories of the item). To sum up, the category tag isn't necessary if you don't sell goods in one of this free categories: 'Apparel & Accessories', 'Media', and 'Software'. If your product aren't in one of these categories, the category tag is optional.

I uploaded manually the googlemerchantfile downloaded from the plugin. Google replyed that the google product category is missing on all products. Where can i apply the category ?? Thanks for reply")* i changed manually the .xml file and i changed the Code: g:category with Code: g:google_product_category and now it seems to accept the xml file without complaining that something is missing. I also change the line Code: //add the brand if specify if(!empty($plugin->params['category'])){ $column = $plugin->params['category']; if(isset($product->$column)){ $text = $product->$column; }else{ $text = $column; } $xml.="\t".'<g:category><![CDATA[ '.$text.' ]]></g:category>'."\n"; } to Code: //add the brand if specify if(!empty($plugin->params['category'])){ $column = $plugin->params['category']; if(isset($product->$column)){ $text = $product->$column; }else{ $text = $column; } $xml.="\t".'<g:google_product_category><![CDATA[ '.$text.' ]]></g:google_product_category>'."\n"; } and now the output is ok and accepted by google. Is there anything you could do about adding the hikashop behind the google_product_category.

Thanks for reply")* > I don't understand what your mean by "adding the hikashop behind the google\_product\_category" since you can now set whatever you in the plugin configuration. That's right. I can set what i want. But the plugin provides the general category -> means for example **Apparel & Accessories** But this is for EVERY product of the shop. I'm ,for example, running category shop in this category. Like google explains > Acceptable categories: > 'Apparel & Accessories > Clothing' > 'Apparel & Accessories > Clothing' > Pants' > 'Apparel & Accessories > Clothing' > Pants > Leggings' > Invalid categories > 'Apparel & Accessories' !!! So if i set for example **Apparel & Accessories** in the plugin it does not add the categorys for example 'Clothing' which i set in the product category in the shop article settings. Another example. I set in the plugin Apparel & Accessories -> so every product gets the google_product_category Apparel & Accessories I have in my shop the product categorys -> Rings -> Necklaces -> Bracelets ecc Second the google directives all my products could be good in Apparel & Accessories > jewelry But it would be better in: Apparel & Accessories *(set in plugin)*> jewelry *(set in plugin)*> rings *(comes from DB $category)* Apparel & Accessories *(set in plugin)*> jewelry *(set in plugin)*> bracelets *(comes from DB $category)* Apparel & Accessories *(set in plugin)*> jewelry *(set in plugin)*> Necklaces *(comes from DB $category)* I hope i explained better. Maybe it is interesting for you to put in a further release.

Thanks for reply")* Indeed, this is a legitimate request ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)"). Actually, you can already do that with the plugin I gave you, waht you ahve to do is to create a product custom field with the type "text" (for example named google_product_category). Then edit your product and give this field the desired value (Apparel & Accessories > jewelry). Finally, in the google product plugin, just set the category field to the custom field name (here, google_product_category). In this case, the plugin will look for each product if they have this custom field, if yes, the custom field will be used. If no, it will use it name.

Thanks for reply")* This can't work in the way the plugin has been made. I don't think it's a good solution since the gdata ask only for one category and your products can have more than one category. So if your product are in 2 different categories and have 2 different custom field you don't know which one to choose. Prefer the product custom field it's a better solution.
