How do I allow guest to choose more categories?

  • Hello!

    TT Guest Post Submit is a great plugin and I want to use it for a website with lost and found classifieds. However, my user should be able to choose 3 categories for every post (lost/found, object type, state/province). Currently the plugin allows users to choose only one category and I tried to modify it but with no success (my skills are pretty basic).

    Has anyone done this before or could you help me with this? I simply need to have 3 category fields, but I don’t know what code should I implement and where it should be.

    Thank you!

    OK so I made some changes in tt-guest-post-submit.php, now I have 3 category fields (ttgps_chk_categoryfield, ttgps_chk_categoryfield2 and ttgps_chk_categoryfield3). I can see all of them in the dashboard, the guest can also see them, but when I publish the post, there is only one category assigned to the post, not all 3. I checkd ttgps-functions.php and I seems that I need to make changes here:

    if(isset($_POST[‘catdrp’])){
    $category = $_POST[‘catdrp’]==-1 ? array(1) : array($_POST[‘catdrp’]);

    and here:

    if (isset($_POST[‘submit’])){
    $new_post = array(
    …
    ‘post_category’ => $category, // Usable for custom taxonomies too
    …

    However, I don’t know what changes should I make in order for the post to have all 3 categories that were previously chosen by the guest. Could somebody help me?
