Require Post Category

Tired of uncategorized posts? Use this simple plugin to require users to choose a post category before updating or publishing a post. By default this only applies to normal posts. If you wish to require a category/taxonomy for a custom post type see the FAQ for filter hook usage examples.

If you have created your own language pack, or have an update of an existing one, you can send the PO and MO files to me so that I can bundle it into the plugin. Download the latest POT file.
