thanks.

Now if you want you’re users to set the category themselves, you’ll, obviously, need to add the category widget to the form. The first category widget on your form (top down) can be set to either add to the categories on the post already (i.e. add the default category as well as the user selected categories) or overwrite them (i.e. drop the default category and use the user selected ones only). So if you want to overwrite the default category, just make sure the option: “Overwrite Default Categories” to is checked.

It’s a simply as that.

the solution I provided can be found on the WP forum pages at

uncategorized code solution

to eliminate the display of uncategorized on posts, etc. I found the folowing solution in the WP forums.

In the page.php, index.php, single.php etc. files of your theme change the following:

to:

cat_name != 'Uncategorized')
{echo 'term_id ) . '" title="'
. sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.' '; } } ?>


note: the href in the above code should be a href, I could not get it to display correctly in the preview of this post. So please make sure you modify the code accordingly if you plan to use it.

this will eliminate the display of uncategorized(although the actual posts will still have the uncategorized category attached).

But it addresses the need to have the users not see uncategorized on every post.
