Hello Greg,

When adding subcategories to the marketplace there does not seem to be a way to easily post items into the subcategories if the parent category is not a container.
- This behavior is intended and it is also applied to Group, Page and Event. However, our customers are always welcome to suggest and idea of improvement. Having said that, it would best if you could submit this as feature request simply by creating a new post in the Voices section so everyone else on the site could vote for it as well. The team will usually prioritize features that are in popular demand during the development process of the next major release.

Also trying to change a parent category from a regular category to a container results in an error
- May I know how you replicate this? Perhaps, you could provide us a video to show the replication steps.

A video would just show me enabling the container switch on the parent category and clicking save, here are the steps to hopefully reproduce.

I created a category in the marketplace called "animals" then I added another category called "live animals" with the parent of "animals" after realizing that the parent category needed to be a container I tried to enable the container option which resulted in the error

Hello Greg,

I am able to replicate the error and has applied fix on your site. Can you give it another try?

I tried and it caused the error on both the frontend and backend I had to manually update the container entry to fix it

UPDATE `j_social_marketplaces_categories` SET `container` = '0' WHERE `j_social_marketplaces_categories`.`id` = 2;

Hello Greg,

Hm, I see. I will log this in our tracker. For now you can disable the container first.
