List certain category in edit page

  • Hello, I’m using my WP like a CMS, and I want to make the admin/post area as simple as possible for blog-illiterate users.

    A user may come to the admin section and want to write a classified ad. They click on “Write” then the sub-menu “Ads”. When that files (edit-ads.php) loads, I want it to only show the user posts in the “ads” category.

    Thanks in advance!

    bump again…is this just b/c its a holiday?

    No, it’s because you don’t search the Codex. Plugins.
    Limit_Category.

    Okay, well…that’s not really what I need, although it’s close. I need my extra post pages (for posting certain types of posts) to show only certain categories. For example, User A wants to post a classified ad. They click on “Write” then “Ads”, then write their ad. I want the post to default to the category “ads” and only allow certain additional categories to be selected NOT DEPENDENT UPON USER. After that, User A decides to write a “regular” post. They click “Write” then “Post”, then are allowed all categories EXCEPT “ads.”

    I’ve read through the support forum for limit_categories, but it doesn’t seem to answer my question. Plus, I’m a novice at best when it comes to php, so there’s only a little I can do to tweak a plugin.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi xtoq, I have the same question as you at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/77722. Did you ever find out the answer to this issue? Or is there anyone out there who can help us out? Thanks in advance!

    The best thing I’ve found is the following plugin, although it doesn’t always work.

    This is probably the best we can do, unless we can convince someone to write the code for us!!!
