### 󠀁[Warning: affects pages too!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-affects-pages-too/)󠁿

Nice simple plugin, but comes with a huge flaw. It sets default category even for
new Pages, which can cause bad issues. Normally you wouldn’t notice that, since 
Pages edit form doesn’t show ‘Categories’ edit box. For example, if you have a member
only area and you block posts in default category, your new added pages will be 
blocked too. You can show ‘Categories’ box in Pages edit form with “Add Categories
to Pages” plugin and see it yourself. Plugin author: Make a select box in a plugin
settings panel so user can choose which post types it will affect, or place a warning
message to the plugin description please.
