   Hi guys:

   I just ran the "Categories to tags" function in WP2.6, and it created a problem. I use nested categories, meaning categories-within-categories. Is there any way to get WP to convert all *nested* category assignments into tags as well?

   Example Category Tree:
   Animals
   -Mammals
   --Dogs
   ---Dalmations
   ----Bowser *Bowser is the category for my post.

   Expected result:
   Tags: Animals, Mammals, Dogs, Dalmations, Bowser

   Actual result:
   Tags: Bowser

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!
   Adam

   It would be fine if I could somehow just do an SQL query that would take all posts in the "Bowser" category and also assign them to the "Dalmations", "Dogs", "Mammals", and "Animals" categories. If I could do that, then it would be easy to do a simple cats-to-tags. Anybody know how to do this?

   Sorry to keep harping on this one, but it's a big deal for me! Maybe another way to say this is that I want to "flatten" my category tree, as described above. Does NOBODY have any idea how to do this? Please? It would be a huge help!
