How To Select Multiple Categories For Your Wordpress Post - Multiple Category Selection Widget

How to Set Multiple Categories for WordPress Posts: 

The “Uncategorized” category is a generic bin where WordPress posts go when you forget to assign a category. It’s rather irksome to discover that you’ve published a post as “Uncategorized,” since it doesn’t do much to connect your readers with more useful information on your blog.

One easy solution to this problem is to edit the “Uncategorized” category slug in the admin at Posts > Categories. This is a decent option if you haven’t yet created any content. Another option is to set
the default category at Settings > Writing. But what if you want to use multiple categories?

WordPress Default Category is a simple plugin that lets you select category defaults for new posts. It allows you to select multiple categories to assign to uncategorized posts. With your selections in
place, forgetting to categorize your post isn’t such a big deal because you can default it to be placed in one of your more general categories, such as “News” and “Tutorial”.

Check out a live demo:

Setting up a default category can help to enforce editorial standards for posts so that none get lost
in the generic bin of uncategorized content. It can also be useful as a quick reference for content 
editors who aren’t regular contributors to a site.

I tested the plugin and it works exactly as advertised. WordPress Default Category is available for
free from WordPress.org. This is one of those rare plugins that is potentially useful to the vast majority
of WordPress websites that make use of categories.
