Introduction

K2 extensions

🗂️ Put one K2 item in more than one category. Multiple Categories for K2 adds extra categories to any K2 item and shows the item in each of them, with correct counts and without changing K2 files. It is for Joomla sites built on K2 whose articles fit under more than one topic.


👉 Product page and plans: https://www.web357.com/multiple-categories-for-k2-joomla-plugin

This is a paid extension. A subscription covers 1, 3, 5 or unlimited sites, includes 1 year of updates and support, and the extension keeps working after it expires: https://www.web357.com/multiple-categories-for-k2-joomla-plugin/pricing

Works with Joomla 3 and 4 and the K2 component. The current release, 1.3.8, is not available for Joomla 5 or 6.

Why It's a Game-Changer

📚 No duplicate items
Publish an item once and show it under every category it belongs to.

🛡️ K2 stays untouched
Extra categories live in their own table, so K2 updates do not overwrite them.

🔢 Counts that add up
Category item counts include the extra categories.

📋 See it in the admin
The K2 Items list shows every category of each item.

⚡ Easy switch
Migrate your assignments from K2 Additional Categories in one click.
