# Category Permalinks

Fixed an issue where linked-product permalinks only checked the parent category; sub-categories are now checked too, so the correct associated stores display correctly.

**This includes:**

* Checks sub-categories, not just the parent category
* Displays the correct associated stores for linked products

**How it benefits the Merchant**

Ensures customers see accurate store availability for linked products, avoiding confusion from incorrect permalink data.

**Potential FAQs**

Q: Does this require re-saving my products?

A: No, the fix applies automatically to permalink checks.

Q: Which products were affected?

A: Linked products whose permalinks relied on sub-category associations rather than only the parent category.
