Hello,
I am having the same issue even though i set the category in the import. Seems like the importer is not setting the category at first, the post is then being classified as uncategorized (or default category), and only later being assigned to the category i set in the import.
I am in fact importing on two different wordpress websites and this assignment to the default category is only happening on one of them but have not been able to figure out what the issue is.
Hi,
we are experiencing the same problem.
It depend from something on the server or in the WordPress configuration because trying the import in 3 differents WordPress 4.7 just in one of it not work.
When it not work import all the correct categories AND ALWAYS the default category.
In the other 2 site it import correctly only the Category founded in the xml file.
What can we check?
Thanks
Best regards
