 * Hello, I love the plugin.
 * Question: if I want category hierarchy copied to “child” (target) blog should
   I be using the Premium version with “Sync Taxonomies Broadcast plugin”?
 * Thanks

 * I’m not quite sure what you want.
 * Do you want to sync only the category taxonomy to the child blog? Is this during
   broadcasting or separately?

 * If I create two categories, “Top” and “Sub”, with Sub having the parent Top. 
   Then I create a post with the category Sub and broadcast that post to 5 other
   sites that have neither the Top or Sub category.
 * What I need is for the post and both categories, Sub having the parent Top, to
   appear on the other sites with the same parent/child relationship.
 * Your Sync Taxonomies plugin looks promising but the description does not mention
   whether it maintains category hierarchy.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * How about: broadcast the post with both categories. That will sync the categories
   with the correct hierarchy.
 * After the intial broadcast, remove the “top” from the post and rebroadcast.
 * That should achieve what you want, if I understand you correctly.
