 * Hi, I’m currently facing the issue that AllImport is creating Categories on the
   it shouldn’t. This behaviour is somehow strange since in my import template I
   defined that each post only has one category, which is also set in the template.
 * After a few weeks I have a huge list of categories made up of content snippets
   of those imported articles.
 * Is there any known bug which matches to this behaviour or do you know what I 
   might change to correct this?

 * That’s extremely strange, and it’s something we’d need to see in action in order
   to troubleshoot. Please open a ticket at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
   with more details so that we can help out there.
