Custom taxonomy bug (?)

I came across a problem where the posts Custom taxonomy terms didn’t got copied to the created post at my Site Wide blog.

I dug into the code of the plugin and found out that it uses wp_insert_post together with the tax_input element. Which turns out to be a problem when wordPress checks whether the user has permission via current_user_can(): to insert the taxonomy terms.

The solution (as explained in the blog post) was to use the wp_set_object_terms function. In my case i added

foreach( $post->tax_input as $tax => $term )
			if( $term )
				wp_set_object_terms( $p, $term, $tax );

right beneath

$p = wp_insert_post( $post );

on line #437 .

Maybe this should be updated for the plugin in general Ron ?
