I’m having a problem with categories that is really bothering me. When I register an article, I associate it with a category, among several that I have on my news website. It turns out that recently, I started having a problem where, when choosing a category, WP starts marking one or even several other categories or subcategories to the article. For example, let’s say you have the Country category and subcategories (USA, Brazil, China, German), and the Gastronomy category and subcategories typical foods, fast foods, hamburgers and even a third category cars with the subcategories Toyota, Nissa, Fiat, Volvo , etc.. Let’s say that when branding Country, WP also started branding Nissan, Harburgueria, Gastronomia. And if I uncheck them, WP unchecks them all and if I check them again, it repeats exactly the markings of the previous items. It is not random, however, from the example it is clear that there is no relationship between categories and subcategories and this is also independent of the category. I can only manage my articles with some ease in the list of articles published in Quick Edit where I have to check what was marked incorrectly and correct the association of categories and possibly subcategories.
I have already deactivated SEO plugins, in this case Rand Math, and other plugins that could somehow interfere with the case, but it does not solve the problem. Coincidence or not, I have a friend who implemented News Paper about a year ago, who reported the same problem to me about a month ago. At the time I suggested that he contact support to see if they could come up with a solution.
I uploaded two screenshots so that you can better understand the problem, if necessary. In the example in question, I only chose the BRAZIL category and all these others were activated.
I note that I have other websites, with other themes that I update frequently and on none of them the problem occurred.
