 * I’m having troubles with the default wordpress categories saving for my custom
   types. It defaults to the “Uncategorized” category, which is fine. When I go 
   and uncheck “Uncategorized” and then check whichever other category I actually
   want and hit “Update,” the subsequent page reverts back to only the “Uncategorized”
   category checked. I tried this with existing posts and with creating a brand 
   new one and they all revert back to “Uncategorized.”

 * I’m also using a dreamhost vps if that helps. Are there certain settings I need
   to configure on the vps to make this work properly? I tried a very similar import
   on the sandbox that you can create ([http://www.wpallimport.com/try/](http://www.wpallimport.com/try/))
   and the import seemed to work properly, with the one caveat being I imported 
   as a “Post” in the sandbox whereas I have a custom type I’m importing to in my
   particular instance. I tried importing as a “Post” to my site, but that still
   failed.

 * Hello [@wtdtan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wtdtan/),
 * Apologies for the late reply.
 * I didn’t encounter something like this before. Did you check for a plugin conflict?
   You might have something affecting this functionality.
 * Can you modify the post content, title or other parts ?
 * Regards.
