Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

A basic default category plugin.

The main purpose of this plugin is to provide different default categories on a per user basis.

I was looking for a plugin to set a different default category for my flickr posts (through XMLRPC API).

And there was no built-in function to set a default category to a particular user.

This plugin is very simple:

  • any author can set it’s own default category (user can edit_posts )
  • any admin can modify an author default category (user can edit_user )
  • anywhere in WordPress a user get it’s default category where applicable: posts, API posts, … except in the writing settings page

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
