One Pic, Multiple Categories

ckyook

Hi, I'm new and have a quick question about categories. Is it possible to link a single picture under multiple categories? For example:

Events (category)
..Spring Fair (sub Category)
...Daughter Dancing (pic)

Portraits (category)
..Daughter (sub category)
...Daughter Dancing (pic)

So in this case, I would like the "Daughter Dancing" pic to be cross-referenced across two different categories. The only other option I can think of is to load the pic twice in each category--but that seems inefficient.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I search the forum but couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance!

This is not possible...but you can duplicate the image, and move it over to the other sub category very easily. Since space is unlimited, that won't be an issue. If you have tons of these to do, it might be labor-intensive; re-uploading to the new sub cat would be less work - more time, but less work.

Thank you Winn. Since I'm just starting out, I guess I have to make sure I'm disciplined about duplicating as I start uploading--appreciate the tip.

Hopefully, they will allow this "tagging" of pictures across multiple categories in the future...it would be great!

it would probably be a bit of a change to their database, but a good one
