[wp-hackers] Is this a bug?

[Haluk Karamete]

Here is the code you can test it on a fresh install.
adding sub cats to wp programmatically causes weird behavior on the
dashboard. This has been a show stopper for me.

<?php

error_reporting (E_ALL); 	

//load the wp shebang into this page
include ("F:\inetpub\wwwroot\Accounts\Dev.tjara.com\ic2\wp-load.php");
//your path here!

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);


//add a sub under the uncategorized
$Term = "Sub-UnCategorized";
$args =	array('parent' => 1 );	
   //by assigning parent to be 1, I'm telling WordYress to make the
"Sub-UnCategorized" a child of "Uncategorized".

wp_insert_term($Term, "category", $args);
   // this line will add the wp_term and wp_term_taxonomy records properly.
   //this ends up getting the tt_id of 3 on a fresh install for the
   //this is so because id 1 goes for the uncat/category, id 2 goes
for the blogroll/link_category tt_ids

//Let's add another sub under the above sub - making it a grand child of
$Term = "Sub-Sub-UnCategorized";
$args =	array('parent' => 3 );	
wp_insert_term($Term, "category", $args);

echo "Done.<p>Go check your categories on the dashboard now. <p>You
will notice that the Sub-Sub-UnCategorized is missing from the view,
even though the same dashboard reports that there are <i>3
items</i>.<p>But what's funny is the dropdown. Check the dropdown for
the <i>parent</i> selection, you will see that the missing
Sub-Sub-UnCategorized is there. Go figure!";


echo "<hr>In order to get the missing sub-sub into the view, you will
have to do two things. <ol><li>Add a dummy cat.<li>Click on the
categories link on the admin navigation.</ol>";
