categories flagged by default

  • Hello, I would like to ask you a question that may seem stupid to you, be patient.
    We are a group that writes at least ten posts a day. Unfortunately, for initial conformation, each post we have to classify it as a base on the same 4 categories, and then add other possible categories from time to time.
    Would there be the possibility of default to have every new post with the 4 basic categories already flagged?
    Thank you
    Yours sincerely

    Matia

    Yes, it’s possible. I don’t know if there is an existing plugin to do so, it’d be worth a search. Otherwise some custom coding is needed. You may already know you can set a different default category other then “uncategorized”. That takes care of one of four. To set the other 3, you need PHP code to hook the “save_post” action and from there call wp_set_post_categories() to set the other three. Be sure the function is passed its third argument ($append) as true or else other previously assigned categories will be removed.
