 * How to add the ability to select a category for post placement when creating 
   it. I want to be able to choose to add only to the post categories I specified.
   
   Currently, the plugin has the ability to select a taxonomy, but all categories
   from the site are shown there and the post after publication is not placed in
   the taxonomy that is specified when adding the post.

 * Hi Adam, I will write a code snippet to do this for you. Soon, we will add this
   as a built in feature
