   Hi,

   What would be the best way to add default categories for new user blogs?
   and for existing user blogs in the future when i think of a new category??

   Regards

   @dgilmour, that looks like a valuable plugin.

   One thing, the user can overwrite my default categories, right???

   I haven't used it, but I'd be very surprised if users couldn't override, esp as plugin info doesn't mention any such odd restrictions. But don't rely on me - test it and confirm for yourself.

   It doesn't - it just adds more categories. Users are then free to edit / delete as they fit.

   If you *want* to block access to the category edit menu, use this plugin:

   Also note the new blog defaults won't add new categories to *exisiting* blogs.

   again tx for the info.

   I am playing with the wpmu-new-blog-defaults. I don't know if this is the way to go, but i seemed to have a problem with the categories

   When i don't use the default category as parent-name the category isn't being displayed, for example the last 2 categories aren't shown

   let's say default category is catA
   
   test cat 1=>test categroy 1=>test-cat-1=>catA
   test cat 2=>test categroy 2=>test-cat-2=>catA
   test cat B=>test categroy b=>cat-B=>catB
   test cat C=>test categroy c=>cat-C=>catC

   cat B and C aren't being shown.

   @andrea, i really want a couple of categories as fixed defaults. Maybe i can use something in the line of
   if(! current_user == 'super admin')
   I am going to look into your plugin suggestion

   regards
