I have been trying all morning to drag and drop the order of categories on the Products Page. Most of the time I get a red circle on the cursor indicating I can't move the category. Sometimes it seems to work, but then the category order doesn't update. Is this a bug that I didn't know about or am I doing something wrong?

I hate to ask this question but are you on the "All Categories" page below "Featured Products"? The link is found on your Products tab.

LOL I am not even sure what that is. I am changing subscatories in my Wedding Section. I will go check though. This is the type of stuff that I am terrible at. So ask all the questions you want!

I have trouble with the drag and drop sometimes too. For me, it doesn't work like the kind of drag and drop I usually expect, where you keep the mouse button held down while you move and it releases when you let go.
I grab the thumbnail and hold the mouse button down, move it slightly to the side until I get the "no" symbol, give it a seconds, then release the mouse button. Then the category is stuck to my cursor and *then* I can move it (sometimes I have to try a couple times before it grabs it). When it is where I want then I click the mouse button to drop it.
Not sure if this is "normal", but it works for me.

Yes. It works but it is incredibly hard to grab. I click twice quickly on the text below the thumbnail, move it if it will let me, then I get to where I want it to go and drop it and hope for the best. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
@LMGildersleeve I was imprecise. I am working on moving subcategories. So the All Categories isn't used. When I went back my subcategories had indeed moved. So I guess there was a large delay this morning. I did manage to move a few more just now.

I need to refresh my store and profile banners for the holiday season. Another fun task these days.

This may be device dependent. Drag and drop does not work on my laptop. Touching the product just opens the product. I have reported this to Zazzle but apparently its not something Zazzle is able to fix.
I also do Postcrossing!
