Any help will be really appreciable, As i am stuck here and waste day but didn't find any solution

[Jean-Yves LENHOF]

Hi,

First thing I see is that attribute "catagory_names" should be "category_names".

I think there's another problem also, but don't see it yet...

Regards,

JYL

It’s telling you that the update has been filtered and the reason is because the categories for that update aren’t in the categories you listed. To fix this add one of the 2 categories it states it has and run again.
