I have the category module installed and for blogs I have used freetagging.

When I 'create' a category by adding freetags to blog posts, those freetags are promoted to the homepage, which apprear as links to the new category node created by the category module.

This is because when the category is created it's given the Publishing Option 'Promote to Homepage' automatically.

I dont want this. The node creation is fine, and probably useful but not promoted to the homepage by default.

How do I stop category module automatically assigning the promote to homepage publishing option to new categories?

Maybe I am missing something within category module?

Go to admin->settings->content types, configure the blog entry content type, uncheck the promoted to front page option.

Yes. Minor correction- it is actually the category node type for which the 'promote to front page' option should be unchecked as it is the free tagging categories that are appearing on the front page.

Cheers Ramdak, 'should' have figured that one out myself... just to tired to think strait.

So obvious! Of course - category promoting to homepage, hmmmm... maybe the category content type is set to promote to homepage... I think I need my logic pills...
