I have a need to elimination Notifications on every blog post. Instead we want to move to a subscription basis based on "Category' of the post. I have found a way to upload "Sitewide" subscription in your documentation. Is there a way to upload "Category" subscriptions?
Hello Fred,

Unfortunately right now the import subscribers screen is only able to import subscribers into sitewide subscriptions. It doesn't handle category subscribers.

That is a shame. Do you have any suggestions for how I force "Category" subscriptions? Can I key them in manually? Can I modify "Sitewide" subscriptions to be "Category" subscriptions?

The only way i can think of is manually do it from your database under this table #__easyblog_subscriptions, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

If you already have CSV format (https://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/how-tos/how-to-mass-assign-subscribers), you can try import it through your backend > Easyblog > subscription > import subscriber , then modify it the `uid` and `utype` columns data to category id and category word.

Note : Before you do it you have to backup your database first.
