 [Marco Panichi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marcopanichi/) February 14, 2024

Even if you set “No” category, the plugin sets the “Uncategorized” category as the
parent category. This is absurd, especially if you don’t know and you create hundreds
of categories that you then have to arrange by hand!

Even if you set it to have no parent, it still puts all categories under a parent.
Completely ruined my site as I now have to remove hundreds of bad categories.

Categories are going under parent category. I want to create categories that are
not parented to anyone. Please fix this plugin.
