An Upcoming update of Category Metabox Enhanced

April 21, 2019 by Yoren Chang

I’ll be releasing an update to one of my WP.org plugins Category Metabox Enhanced. It’s been four years I haven’t worked with .org projects at all.

Users can select multiple Categories for a post by default, that’s why WordPress use checkboxes in the Categories metabox. If you need to force the user select only one category, I have this little plugin for you.
