Creating Dulpicate Categories Issue—Child Categories

Hello, sorry to open a new thread on this, but this one was closed, and I think this may be useful.

Your last comment said:

“SWT is designed to not use child categories in the tags blog to prevent issues with conflicts between children categories with different parents in different source sites.”

Just wanted to confirm that the following is intentional then (or if there’s a way around it).

I’ve followed that entire thread and had the same problem as others. I’m using version 0.4.2 and I tested with all plugins disabled.

I wanted to confirm that duplicates will persist any time you post using a child category on the original (child) blog. This is true even if that same parent/child category structure exists on the main (tags) blog as well.

If that’s the case, then the plugin duplicates the category to the main blog as a parent.

For example, if the child blog had categories:

• Music (Parent)

• Jazz (Child)

Upon publishing, even if those SAME categories exist at the main tags blog, you’ll still get another category like so:

• Jazz (new duplicate)
• Music (Parent)

• Jazz (Child)

Is there any way around this? Is this expected functionality?

Thanks for such a great plugin! Just wanted to test thoroughly…
