I have come across what the actual issue is. The problem is with the updates running when no user is logged in. Since they do not have permissions to add categories it removes all of the categories that are assigned. Now by default in wordpress if there are no categories assigned it goes into the default category (usually uncategorized unless changed in the settings). So a solution that I have come up with is to log in a user with permissions when the cron is running so that the correct categories get assigned when doing so. The challenge however is to not keep that user signed in after the cron has finished (to keep from users being able to visit that url and be logged in as a user on your site). It would be nice to have this integration done in the plugin so that I do not have to override. Can the author please comment here if he would have these updates made in the plugin or if we should just use the hooks.

One other thing that I found that I would suggest be done is in /views/view.items.php would be to add nl2br() around the description. I really don’t see any downside to adding this is why I am making the suggestion. If I want the description to be all in one line I will just put it all in one line, but if I want it broken in to multiple lines at this point I am not able to do that because it doesn’t have that function on it.
