   Hi,

   You could do it with an SQL statement from phpMyAdmin. However, you should back up your DB before doing so.

   I looked at that (wp_terms, wp_terms_relatioships) just to open for errors.

   Isn't there just a mass edit plugin?

   Hi there!
   You can try this plugin
   http://www.aswinanand.com/2008/10/bulk-assign-categories-to-multiple-posts/
   Do not forget about checkbox 'Preserve existing categories for selected posts' when you want to save current relationships

   I have looked into that one but that is to assign categories to a post.

   What i want is

   U2
   Coldplay
   sting
   metallica

   Make the a sub category of artists

   Artists
   --U2
   --Coldplay
   --sting
   --metallica

   The artists are gathered from an RSS, and the list is already big after 1/2 day live

   this is the site http://www.shirtallica.com

   Ok, I posted a snippet for a similar task here. It adds one parent category to all other categories. It's possible to edit the code, but I don't understand how are you creating categories, manually or automatically? And you need this possibility once or permanently?

    What kind of plugin? May be it's possible to assign a parent category automatically at the moment of creation of new cat.

    Misprinted - Feedwordpress plugin. So, you may be have to ask the author of this plugin about the syndicated_item_categories filter.
