Will product_description work, and would it also read html code for a link in the description? (e.g. a Contact us for Prices line in the description having a link to the contact page) Last edit: 14 years 5 months ago by [blmcquillan](/forum/user/5114-blmcquillan "View blmcquillan's Profile").

There is no column to enter the description of categories via CSV. It's not handled for now. You can enter HTML in the product_description column, yes.

Say a photography site with photos by years, 2010, 2011, 2012 Will I have to just go into each photo individually and set it to a category?

Just read the documentation on the import, it's all explained there: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...hikashop-import.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/73-hikashop-import.html) However, what you can't do is add/update the description of the categories via the CSV.
