    You are using ‘Category’ twice times in the form, which is not allowed (as you have discovered).

    You need to separate out groups of terms into separate custom taxonomies. In general, you can use a particular Taxonomy, such as Tags, (or Category, each Custom Taxonomy and each Custom Field) only once in the form. This post tries to explain this a bit better (you can use a plugin to switch category terms from category to any new taxonomy that you make, so it is not so hard to do). It is a really awful preachy lecture I wrote:

    Sorry about the tone, but the message is right and it links to good plugins (except taxonomy switcher I think). It is most important that you change any child terms into parents before moving them (you will not need the parent terms, as they become their own taxonomy).

    Thanks for your answer, that’s clear.

    I wasn’t so confortable with categories.

    I just install ACF and now everything seems more simple and possible.

    Thanks
