 * I would like the possibility to have multiple forms. I need three different forms,
   everyone with different categories in the selection.
    Can this be done or should
   I look for a different plugin.

 * Hi,
 * Yes I believe it can be done using templates.
 * That way you can build your own Category dropdowns based on condition. but it
   will involve html and php coding

 * Could I please get a bit more information about using templates?
    I have copied
   frontier_form.php and frontier_list.php to ./wp.content/themes/[your active theme]/
   plugins/frontier-post/, but how can I use these in a new page?
 * And another question: how can I change the following code so there would be only
   those categories in the list that I choose to?
 *     ```
       <?php
       foreach ( $catlist as $category1) : ?>
       <option value="<?php echo $category1['cat_ID']; ?>" <?php if ( $cats_selected && in_array( $category1['cat_ID'], $cats_selected ) ) { echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>><?php echo $category1['cat_name']; ?></option>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       ```

 * Okay, it seems I misunderstood how this is working. So now Frontier post will
   take the template file automatically from the themes folder. But, how can I add
   another form? How can this be done with templates?

 * Hi,
 * There could be different ways to do this.
 * If it is only minor things that is is different from form to form (ex. Category
   drop down) you can use a if or switch statement.
 * The question is how you determine which category dropdown to display…..

 * Other way is to use include() function based on a if or switch statement

 * Hi,
 * Yes, I only want to change the category drop downs. I need three different forms
   with three different category drop downs.
 * finnj, if you have some time I would really appreciate if you could help me with
   the code. I don’t write php myself, I can only read a bit and I’m not able to
   do this on my own.

 * Try version 2.1.0
 * I have added a new parameter frontier_parent_cat_id in version 2.1.0 by using
   that you can have different forms that only will show children of the category
   id you specify.
 *     ```
       [frontier-post frontier_parent_cat_id=7]
       ```
