   here I found the following code to auto select a checkbox for my custom post.

   function add_housecategory_automatically($post_ID) {
   	global $wpdb;
   	if(!wp_is_post_revision($post_ID)) {
   	$housecat = array (4);
   	wp_set_object_terms( $post_ID, $housecat, 'category');
   	}
   }
   add_action('publish_houses', 'add_housecategory_automatically');

   where houses is the custom post.

   This script works great, but you have to know what ID (in this case 4) the category is. So I tried to extend the script with the following code to auto get the ID of the category.

   function add_housecategory_automatically($post_ID) {
   	$term = term_exists( 'builded', 'category' ); // array is returned if taxonomy is given
   global $wpdb;
   	if(!wp_is_post_revision($post_ID)) {
   	$housecat = array ($term);
   	wp_set_object_terms( $post_ID, $housecat, 'category');
   		}
   	}
   	add_action('publish_houses', 'add_housecategory_automatically');

   now is this not working. The closest I came was to publish automatically in a category called 4. What is the ID of builded.

   I think I am pretty close, can someone tell me what to do different?
