Tags overwriting categories in blog template

Hi We are in the process of creating a database using the blog template ‘StdR7Blog’ template version 8.5. When a new post is created you get the options to add both Tags and if you press the ‘More’ button you can add ‘Categories & Exclusions’. When i create post with both of these options & save, the document changes and the category i chose becomes unticked and the tags add themselves in as ticked categories.

The original categories were created within the ‘Configuration - Content categories’ heading within the advanced section.

Can anyone advise why the data added into the Tag field in the new post overrides the selected categories, is this a bug or do i have an incorrect setting somewhere in the config file ?

Many thanks

Phil

Subject: fix

Hi I kept searching and found this on Steves site, I ticked the use categories over tags checkbox and rebuilt the indexes, after a little while this started to work properly.

So just in case anyone else has an issue this might help
