Highlighted Features
-
Bulk Category Management
This feature allows you to manage multiple categories at once by importing or exporting them in bulk. This is particularly useful for large stores with extensive category structures, as it saves significant time compared to manually managing categories one by one.
-
CSV File Format
The extension uses CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files for importing and exporting category data. CSV is a widely-used format that is compatible with many spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. This makes it easy to edit and prepare data for import or analyze and modify data after export.
-
Category Hierarchy Maintenance
This feature ensures that the parent-child relationships between categories are preserved during import and export. It allows you to maintain the structure of your category tree, so categories appear in the correct order and under the correct parent categories.
-
Category-Specific Store View Data
The extension supports importing and exporting data specific to different store views. This is useful for multi-store setups where categories may have different names, descriptions, and settings based on the language or other store-specific configurations.
-
Attribute Mapping
Attribute mapping allows you to map columns in your CSV file to the appropriate category attributes in Magento. This ensures that the data from your CSV file is correctly imported into the corresponding fields in your Magento store, avoiding data mismatches.
-
Error Handling and Validation
The extension includes built-in validation mechanisms to check the data before importing it into Magento. If there are any errors, such as missing required fields or invalid data formats, the system will provide error messages and logs. This helps prevent importing incomplete or incorrect data, ensuring data integrity.
-
Category Status Management
You can manage the status of categories (enabled or disabled) through the import/export process. This is useful for quickly updating the availability of multiple categories in your store.

FAQs
-
How can I fix timeout errors when importing newsletter subscribers in Magento 2?
Timeout errors during import usually occur when the CSV file is too large or the server has limited resources. To resolve this, try splitting the CSV file into smaller batches and increase the server’s execution time or memory limits in the PHP configuration. Alternatively, optimize the CSV structure to reduce unnecessary data.
-
Why do I see duplicate categories after importing with Magento 2 Import Export Categories Extension?
Duplicate categories after importing may occur if the CSV file contains categories that already exist in Magento but are not identified correctly by their unique identifier (like the category ID or URL key). Ensure that your CSV file accurately reflects the existing categories and that you use unique identifiers for new ones. If updating categories, avoid changing critical fields such as the category ID.
-
How do I fix the timeout error when exporting a large number of categories in Magento 2?
Timeout errors during export occur when the server takes too long to process the request due to a large number of categories. To resolve this, increase the max_execution_time in your php.ini file to allow more time for the export process to complete. You may also want to optimize the server resources or export categories in smaller batches.
-
Why are category URLs not updating after import in Magento 2?
If category URLs are not updating after importing, it could be due to URL rewrites being disabled or the CSV file missing the URL key field. Ensure that URL rewrites are enabled in your Magento configuration and that the CSV file includes the correct URL key values for the categories. Additionally, clear the Magento cache and reindex after importing to reflect the changes.
