I am using RS 1.3.7 and WP 3.1
I know that neither of these are up to date. It's a test cycle thing - the site is highly complex and very sensitive and i am loathe to change either version number without good reason.
I have a script that is run from the command line that programmatically inserts about 15000 posts and attachments. the category for each post is ascertained via a keyword matching algorithm.
the first 3000 or so posts all landed in WP with no category. eventually I narrowed this down to rolescoper. turning it off fixed the problem.
the posts are being loaded with an author = the super user (userID = 1) and full rights are given to the admin to do anything.
is this a known bug fixed in a later release? or is this perhaps deliberate behaviour (in which case workaround advice would be very welcome)?
I believe that it is the function cr_get_posted_object_terms( $taxonomy ) that causes the problem but I am not certain. I tried to spoof it by manually setting the $_POST['post_category'] superglobal but this had no effect.
