   I was wondering if there is a way/plugin that can add/create multiple categories (incl. subcategories and description) in one go. I mean the admin panel works fine, but if you wanna add 100+ categories, a plugin would be handy.
   I searched the database but I couldn't find anything. Do you got any suggestinos.

   Thanks

   If you don't find something, try doing Tools->Export and then look at the results of that file to give you an idea how to build (proper open/close tag structure) an XML file with your categories that you could do Tools->Import->WordPress.

   I took some time to create a solution for you and others who might have this same need. Grab a copy of Bulk Category Importer for WordPress here:

   http://wpsecurity.net/bulk-category-importer-for-wordpress/

   It works with WordPress 2.5.x and newer.

   Hello,

   1] Download Post Corrector wordpress plugin from
   http://www.lordtime.com/blog/2008/07/01/post-corrector-wordpress-plugin-update/

   2] Activate the plugin - it adds "Bulk Create Categories" Menu item under Posts menu in wordpress 2.7.x

   3] To create categories simply enter list of categories in text box
   cat 1
   cat 2
   ...

   To create sub-categories create category first and then use following format for sub-categories:

   cat 1/sub cat1
   cat 1/sub cat2
   cat 1/sub cat3
   ...
