## Beschreibung

Only One Category makes sure users only select one category for their post by making
the selectors radio buttons, which only allow one category to be selected.

Rather than spend all your time maintaining the editorial style of only putting 
posts into a single category, this plugin is a quick way for you to enforce that
standard. It makes it impossible for a person to accidentally break your site’s 
layout of functionality by putting a post in multiple categories. They just can’t
do it, whether by accident or intention.

## Screenshots

 * How it’ll make the Categories section look while editing a post on the current
   version of WordPress.

 * How it looks when you Quick Edit a post with the new UI.

## Installation

Activate the plugin. Now you should only see radio buttons where you previously 
saw category checkboxes. That’s why you downloaded it, right?

## FAQ

  Why use this plugin?

The biggest reason that you might want to use this plugin is that your site is structured
around the assumption that posts will exist in a single category. This makes it 
impossible for a person to accidentally break your site’s layout of functionality
by putting a post in multiple categories.

If you have many contributors and don’t have the resources for a thorough editorial
flow with checks and rechecks, the plugin is an easy quick way to make sure your
standard is maintained without taking a lot of time correcting mistakes.

  Wie funktioniert es?

Plugin live-swaps check boxes for radio button before the pages are sent to users.

  Are there any options?

Not currently. If they ever make sense — if for example we were to add the option
to use it one all hierarchical taxonomies — it may possibly get one.

By intention, anyone can bypass the limit by changing the html in their browser.

 [newsblaze](https://profiles.wordpress.org/newsblaze/) 3. September 2016

Thank you David. Exactly what I wanted. Here is a suggestion: Allow an option to
prevent selecting the top-level category, if there are sub-categories. Still display
the top level, just don’t provide a button. Reason – because I only want the sub-
categories to hold posts.
