One response to “Yet another wordpress annoyance…”

   Yeah, categories are a mess in WP. If you search the bugs list for “OPML”, the truth comes out.

   This looks like a fairly easy fix, but there are gotchas. WP categories are stored in the posts and blogroll as integers: ordinals in the categories table. Imagine what happens if you create a WP blog with posts in categories A, B, and C; then export everything; then create a new blog; add a category X, and now try to import stuff. Can you say “off by 1”?
