    Hi Jeff,

    I really like your plugin. Awesome work!
    I set up a form for submitting posts from frontend. Now I need some assistance for one thing: all posts should be assigned to a predefined category. There is the option in Plugin Settings/Form Fields to display and require the category field. And in category section I selected the appropriate category. Now the user has to select the category when creating posts. But there is only one category so this step of selecting it is needles.

    Can I predefine a standard post category without having the user to select it?

    The are the fields
    – Hidden/Default Category
    – Category ID for Hidden Field
    in the settings, but I can’t make this work. Can you help me?

    Thanks!
    -Martin

    Glad to help:

    Yes that is exactly what these settings are for:

    – Hidden/Default Category
    – Category ID for Hidden Field

    If that is not working, first check your other settings, and then also check for any errors or conflicts with other plugins/theme.

    Hi,

    it works now. First I didn’t understand what the category ID is. But I figured it out. Thanks again for the fantastic plugin!
