Assigning Custom Post Types to a WP Category

    I am using a plugin that utilizes custom posts types and custom categories (Business Directroy Plugin – http://wordpress.org/plugins/business-directory-plugin/) and I want to assign the custom posts to regular WordPress categories (such that they are recognized by Worpdress).

    Within the plugin, I know the name of the custom post type I am attempting to manipulate (which is “wpbdp_listing”). I do not know how to proceed in order to reconcile this custom post type and the regular WordPress categories; it would be sufficient if I could have all of these custom posts be labelled “Uncategorized” – I simply need them to be recognized.

    However, I am new to WordPress and have no real programming experience, so I do not know the solution because this clearly will involve altering or adding to the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you suggest lines of code to insert, or terms within the code to be changed, please also describe where I can find the relevant section of code. I will need your isntructions to be as explicit as possible for them to be useful to me.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To clarify, there is a specific reason why I need the custom posts generated by the Business Directory Plugin to be categorized according to the normal WP post categories (because I am sure this seems like an odd thing to do). I am using another plugin that uses the traditional post categories as a prompt (it will insert itself on every post of X category), and I want to utilize this second plugin on the custom posts created by the Business Directory Plugin.
