# Automatically categorizing post?

 * Hi,
 * I’m setting up a page for a recently deceased friend and I’m using USP to allow
   friends and family to submit ‘tributes’ to him through a WordPress site. I have
   a form set up where people can enter these tributes, and I’d like there to be
   a page where all the tributes are shown (the page takes all posts in a ‘Tributes’
   category and displays them).
 * Right now I’m waiting for new posts to come in, then going into the admin panel
   and changing the post category to “Tribute” then publishing it. I don’t want 
   users to have to select a category when they post a tribute, so I don’t have 
   that dropdown in the form. Is there a way to automatically assign this category
   to the user submitted posts?
 * Thanks,

 * The free version doesn’t include a feature for automatically assigning categories
   to submitted posts, but the [Pro version](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro/)
   can do it easily. For more infos, contact me using the contact form (bottom of
   the page from that link). Thank you.

 * Okay. Does the pro version also give you the ability to change the default title
   of the post? I haven’t included that field either, but it’s showing up as “User
   Submitted Post” when I display it on the tributes page.

 * Please contact me for more info about the Pro version. The forums here at wordpress.
   org are strictly for free versions of plugins. You can find the contact form 
   as described above. Thank you for understanding.
