Category Selector Back to the Sidebar
As you know, WordPress v2.5 was released at the end of march, and we loved it... at first. Many WP users (including me) complained that the section which allows us to select categories for our posts is not at the sidebar. Thus, many WordPress v2.5 users (including me) started forgetting to select categories for their posts. Thus, there are many many angry users. Thus, I tried to create a plugin with my totally crappy PHP skills.
Features of the plugin:
- Removes that advanced category selector below.
- Adds a (somewhat) primitive category selector to the sidebar.
- Makes you a happier WordPress blogger.
You can download the latest version of the plugin by clicking on this link.

Thanks, this is a nice fix for one of the rare annoying decisions concerning 2.5.
Nice Plugin, but I have a problem:
I cannot deselect a category, when the plugin is activated.
I noticed that, too. I'm working on it. Thanks :).
Great plugin name and thanks! Ever since I upgraded to WP 2.5, I have forgotten to categorize each of my posts.
Thanks. I was also forgetting to categorize some of my posts too.
Thank you very much, I was trying to do this for a long time without success.
You helped me out.
Thanks a million! I had a lot of problems with the 2.5 admin panel and slowly they're getting solved with plugins like this one. Now I just need toget that save/preview box back down under the input form.
Woah dude, this rocks! :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Eklenti gayet güzel teşekkürler yanlız küçük bir sorun var sanırım sorun şu yanlışlıkla yazı yazdıktan sonra 2 tane katogori seçmişim sonradan farkına vardım yazıyı düzenlemek için girdim katogoriyi istediğim bir tanesini seçtim save ettim yazıya döndüğümde ise yine 2 katagori güzüküyordu devalarca denedim olmadı sorunu eklentiyi kaldırarak hallettim. Bu soruna bakarsanız sevinirim.
Kolay Gelsin
@EgitimTUBE; ilk sürümünde böyle bir sorun vardı ama şimdiki sürümünde (İlk sürüm 1.0 idi, sonra yabancı bir arkadaşla eklentiyi baştan yazıp 0.5 olarak tekrar sürdük, geçen gün ben WordPress 2.6 için ufak bir değişiklik yapıp 0.6'yı sürdüm. Son sürüm 0.6 yani.) böyle bir sorun olmaması lazım.
This is exactly what i was looking for.

@Kathy; I'm guessing that you're not using (or didn't succesfully upgraded to) WordPress 2.6. The plugin is WP2.6-compatible only, but I forgot to update that one at WordPress Extend. Sorry about that.
You made a lot of people happy with this. The category location change was seen as a huge step backwards for some, others love it. Many will use this though.
Bu neymiş lan elin gevurları hep link vermiş :)
I have added this to your php-file, cause i missed the category-add button:
......................................................................
[code]
<input type="text" name="newcat" id="newcat" class="form-required form-input-tip" style="width:75%;" value="" tabindex="3" aria-required="true"/>
<input type="button" id="category-add-sumbit" class="add:categorychecklist:category-add button" value="" tabindex="3" />
#category-add select { width:100%; }
: 0, 'name' => 'newcat_parent', 'orderby' => 'name', 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_none' => __('Parent category'), 'tab_index' => 3 ) ); ?>
[/code]
......................................................................
oh ther was something cutted from my post, cause the html..
sry for that
If you mail me through the page above (First box: Name; second: E-mail address; third: Subject; fourth: Your message, the checkbox sends the mail also to the mail you typed to the second box) I can get back to you there.
Actually, now that 2.7 will bring the category list back to the sidebar, this plugin will be obselete. There's no need to release a new version. Thanks for your efforts anyway.
