Comment (by myd2vzmpdk):
you can add a small jQuery script to auto-refresh the category list after
adding a new one.
Place this in your admin footer or inside your theme’s functions.php like
this:
{{{#!php
<?php
add_action('admin_footer', function() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ajaxComplete(function(event, xhr, settings) {
if (settings.data && settings.data.indexOf('action=add-category') !==
-1) {
// Reload category checklist after adding new category
jQuery('#categorychecklist').load(location.href + ' #categorychecklist
> *');
}
});
</script>
<?php
});
}}}
