 * I’m using this in tandem with a mapping plugin to let cyberbullying victims and
   survivors of sexual harassment submit their stories anonymously to a digital 
   rights organization. The people will select the appropriate location category
   from the dropdown; since I can’t possibly pre-create every single location they
   may report from, is there a way to let users create a category on the fly, or
   at least suggest it?

 * That is not a feature of the free version of the plugin, but the [Pro version can do it](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-users-add-new-categories/).
   If you have any questions about Pro, please [contact us directly](https://plugin-planet.com/#contact)(
