Creating associated items on the backend side seems to be dangerous or buggy. We decided to remove manage_categories capability to some of our user roles, in order to “hide” this functionality to the corresponding users.

Yes, once removing all the associated items visible on the backend side, once passing through all the documents to assign them a group on the frontend side, then all the correct associated items are created only once and everything works fine: documents keep attached to their group (one or several). All the symptoms described at the beginning of this discussion have vanished.

We had to close our site for a couple of hours to clean everything, but the result is there!

Thanks for your help.

I will give a try with your Term Management Tools plugin.

Hi,

On the /docs/ page, none of my documents have something in the Group column.

When I edit any document, the associated Group dropdown is set to None.

However, When I have a look though the backend, I can see the associated items for each document (some of them have several ones).

Hi,

As mentioned above:
5. The list of the existing associated items contains 2 groups with the same name: the second one has been added when creating or editing the doc on the front end ???

I do not see how this tool could fix the problem as I have no post categories, except the Ungategorized one.

I am using quite many other plugins but I have no idea if one of them is dealing with taxinomy terms…
