    Default Having a slash in category name

    I am trying to add categoried via WSI using xpath ... my issue is that one category has a slash in it. For example ... xpath=/cat/cat-1/Cats/Dogs but that is the category name Cat/Dogs ... obviously xpath thinks this is part of the path and creates it as a category of Cat with Dog below it.

    Any ideas on how to escape this?

    If it is just few categories that have '/' on there names, you have to rename it as 'Cats&Dogs' for example, then edit that in the admin later.

    You can also try to use the HTML ascii entity codes as a substitute for (/).
