Misaligned destination categories

    I have installed the plugin on two sites and configured tokens. The new posts from the source are delivered to the destination site correctly. But the posts at the destination site are displaying “uncategorized”. I have made sure that the categories are spelled exactly alike on both sites and have set them up using the category mapping feature. I have also tried the process without any category mapping. Same results.

    What am I doing incorrectly?

    Hi and sorry for the late reply.

    In the “categories” section, you need to make sure the categories IDs are matching correctly between the source and the destination.
    E.g. let’s say on the source website, you have the categories:
    id. 1 > categ: Uncategorized
    id. 2 > categ: Music
    id. 3 > categ: Sports

    On the remote website you have the categs:
    id. 1 > categ: Uncategorized
    id. 4 > categ: Music
    id. 7 > categ: Sports

    Then in the plugin you set them up like:
    Local categ: Remote categ:
    1                      1
    2                      4
    3                      7

    Note: you can find the categories IDs in the WP admin: Posts > Categories.
    To get the category ID, you hover over the category name and you can see the url in the status bar at the bottom:
    https://your-domain.com/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=category&tag_ID=1&post_type=post&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit-tags.php%3Ftaxonomy%3Dcategory

    The categ ID is the “tag_ID=1”.

    I hope this helps.
    This categories matching was a bit tricky, so I spent quite a bit of time sorting it out and I tested it extensively to made sure it works.
    So, please let me know if you still have issues, as I’d like it to work smoothly. Looking forward to your feed-back.
    Thanks for raising this issue.
