Currently vendors can not edit or change a category on a listing post. It can be changed on the back-end through admin controls. Is it possible to let vendors change the category when editing their listings? ---

Hi, Unfortunately, this version has no such feature because it’s like a listing type - it may have category-specific fields and features. Please consider using a separate custom Select attribute with multiple selection for other criteria. ---
