How do I choose more than 2 categories for an article?

This is important to me, as I understand categories can be used to search. Some artiles I write about would naturally be about several categories.

However, on the tab where you write your article (sorry, don’t remember the name of the tab…just installed last night, and I’m at school now)…you can only select 2 categories max!

How do I change this? Already searched the docs and forums, couldn’t find anything.
Thanks, gotta go, be back later!

You could try this. I installed it at one point but never ended up using it.

Thank you! Installed the “rss_unlimited_categories” plugin, now I just have to figure out these “Pages” in Textpattern. His other plugins look interesting, too.

Yeah, he’s put together some really helpful stuff. Another that you might want to try is his db manager. Check out this thread for some of more used plugins.

FWIW, I have that plugin working very well on my site
You’re welcome to check it out and ask any questions about it’s implementation.
