Can connections use default WordPress Categories

    Is there anyway to get the plugin to populate its categories list from the Default WordPress categories?

    If this can’t be done through settings then can you give me any pointers within the code to look out for. This plugin is so nearly what I need – common story 🙂

    I would be happy to branch and resubmit any additions I make to the code.

    Thanks

    Probably the easiest way would to import/sync the categories. I would recommend creating an extension plugin that does this feature rather than modifying the core code.

    It could be as simple as querying the WP categories and then looping thru while using this function to add them to Connections. If you do a sync instead of a straight import, I suggest adding a check to see if the term exists before adding it and then add an action to WP so when you add a category to WP it’ll automatically be added to Connections too.

    Hope that helps!
