Create category term

DescriptionWordpress snippet by Adam J Nowak - 06/16/10

Here is a snippet to create a new category in wordpress, I could not get the wp_create_category() function to work in my plugin so I used this instead. It creates the category manually using the wp_insert_term() function.

category, taxonomy, terms

//Initilize Plugin
if(!is_term("WP Videos", "category")){
 	$arg = array('description' => "Main category for all of the WP Video Player videos", 'parent' => 3);
	$new_cat_id = wp_insert_term("WP Videos", "category", $arg);
}
