Once I have an aliased a subcategory under more than one category. How do I then remove the subcategory from one or more of those categories, but still leave it under at least one category? Thanks.
OK. I seem to have worked out where the issue lies, but I don't have a fix for it. It seems that I can only remove the alias if I edit the sub-category via the category where I created the original record. If I go into the sub-category via a route from one of the categories that was aliased, then none of the main categorties are selected and selecting the ones I want to keep the alias to doesn't do anything. This makes it really difficult for editors. How are they supposed to know which was the original category and which was the alias, other than by trial and error?
Don't think I've tried an aliased category in years, all the matters have been with aliased links lately. Anyhow I see a more serious issue, the list of subcategories of the category gets transformed to display literal html for the alias instead of actually parsing the html.

By the way, I have tried unselecting the category I want it to unlink and it doesn't work - even after rebuilding counters.

Thanks for the reply Paul. But I'm afraid that I don't understand a word of that.
