    Hi

    Im trying to make a new pluing that automatically makes a post everyday with weather information from around the world.

    Every works fine except I would like to also create new categories from within the plugin either by a wp function or directly into the database. Sometimes the category might already be there sometimes not and I would then have to create it.

    Is there a function to add a category or do I have to put it directly into the database ?

    There is a function to add category in wp-admin\taxonomy.php and it is called from wp-admin/categories.php
    The function: wp_insert_category($_POST)
    Look at Categories in Dashboard and learn which variable to POST. You can find them in Add Category Form by looking source code of this page.
