Category select

You can try to edit the submit file.

There’s a array with those informations.

Hi,

yes, I can edit, but don’t know the correct strings. Please write mee!! (I know the required category’s slug, and ID, but don’t know, how must insert to the code)

Thank you for the quick answer!

I’m also not clear about it, that’s why haven’t documented about that.

‘post_category’ => $category, // Usable for custom taxonomies too

Only this is the all info. It’ not enough me! :o)))

If the category ID=124, how must to insert ?

Sorry, I’m an really amateur. .o))))

I’m also not clear about it, that’s why haven’t documented about that.

babar, for line:
‘post_category’ => $category, // Usable for custom taxonomies too

your problem is that it is asking for a array not a string. so for a quick fix all you would need to do is:
‘post_category’ => array($category),
and wala its fixed ??

//helper cat is helping

Rosti, So all you need to do is apply the fix i give earlier and express the category you want on the shortcode like [guest-posts category=’124′] and that should fix your problem right quick and in a hurry

Thanks Nate.
I will update the plugin ASAP. ??

Hello,

Thanks for this nice plugin but even following clearly your indication it’s not working with following call:

[guest-posts category=’14985′ author=’5′]

Would be happy to find the trick, thanks for your help!

This is a part of Guest Posts Plugin for WordPress.

Hi Ted swiss if you change the line
‘post_category’ => $category, // Usable for custom taxonomies too
to
‘post_category’ => array($category), // Usable for custom taxonomies too

as Nate_Nevins said then on guest-posts/guest-posts.php

make sure the line
‘cat’ => ‘1’,
to
‘cat’ => ”,

after this you can use the short code [guest-posts cat=’14985′ author=’5′]
