The category and all of his sub categories would be moved. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

In the Business Edition, open up an existing category in the Categories section, there is not Parent or main category setting that I can see. Can you tell me where this is, or am I in the wrong area to do this?

Looks like when I was setting up the testing items, I changed the original Products category into an actual product specific category. Apparently that one cannot be reassigned. My other categories I had created later all allow changing the parent category.
