 * I am facing a problem with wordBB 2.9 ad 3.0, i discussed it with rosario a year
   back, and seems like no solution has been found around it yet.
 * I did not set any categories in wordBB, so, all categories link to the default
   forum.
 * So, lets assume i have a single post, that is linked to 5 different wordpress
   categories. When i click on the link that creates the forum by wordBB, it actually
   creates 5 threads! Instead of one!
 * This being said, only one of those posts is actually the bridge between wordpress
   and mybb. So i would then need to check which version shows in wordpress and 
   delete all the rest. What can i do to fix this problem?
 * Thanks

 * Woah, a year ago! Time flies.
 * Since I’m working on the plugin now, I added this to my todo list.
    I’ll think
   about it and will come up with a solution soon. Cheers!

 * Yes indeed, time flies REAAAL fast, anyways, thanks for the plugin and hope we
   get this problem/bug settled 🙂
 * PS: How can i create a thread in myBB for a wordpress “Page”? pages just like
   blog posts has a comments section, any ideas on how can i link a wordpress page
   to a mybb thread?

 * I ran across this same problem. Since I don’t want them separated into categories
   in MyBB, I just made this quick and dirty edit in WordBB.php around line 980 (
   I may have made other edits, can’t remember):
 * Find this line:
 * foreach($categories as $category)
    {
 * Change to this:
 * //foreach($categories as $category)
    $categories = $category; {
