Limiting the Category selection options

  • If I use the shortcode:
    [frontier-post frontier_mode=”add” frontier_edit_form=”standard” frontier_add_post_type=”post” frontier_cat_id=”150,151,152″ frontier_user_status=”published” frontier_custom_tax_layout=”checkbox” frontier_custom_tax=”category”]

    I get the list of categories, with category 150, 151, and 151 automatically selected in a checkbox list. Great!

    However, that list currently displays ALL my categories, and I want users only to be presented with a subset list of the categories. Is there a way to limit which categories display (so the user can select from some but not all)?

    In Frontier Post Settings, I can Exclude Categories, which works great.

    But if I have categories 1,2,3,4,5 I need to be able to have FP page # 1 list categories 1,2,3 and FP Page #2 list categories 3,4,5?

    Thx!

    I Think it would be the equivalent of the Exclude Categories setting, but as a short code.

    You can use shortcode parameter frontier_list_cat_id

    Check shortcode documentation:

    I had tried that, and it didn’t work.

    [frontier-post frontier_mode=”add” frontier_edit_form=”standard” frontier_add_post_type=”post” frontier_cat_id=”29,30″ frontier_list_cat_id=”29,30″ frontier_user_status=”published” frontier_custom_tax_layout=”checkbox” frontier_custom_tax=”category”]

    still lists all the categories?
