I've created a form that will automatically create a post, and it has a category drop-down (though it is hidden). The drop-down only has one category selected (pdf).
When I fill in the form, it goes through ok, but instead of adding the post to the 'pdf' category, it adds it to uncategorised.
Because uncategorised is the default category, I am wondering if it is just bypassing that section of the form.
Already responded via email. We will look into why the post category isn't stored when it is set to admin only. One thing I have to ask is if you have a hidden category field assigning one category, why don't you just set the default category to that category? Seems redundant. The form can already set a default category so adding a hidden category field shouldn't be necessary.

Hi,
I am having the same problem. On the "Post Category" field, there is no option to have a default value. Any suggestions?

Ok - I have tested this farther. If I only have one category selected as an option, and I make the Post Category field visible to everyone, that field will always save. However, if I make it visible only to admins, it will save instead as Uncategorized. Very weird!

Never mind, figured it out. There's a default category select in the other Post fields if you DONT put a Post Category field in the form.
