 * This is a very nice plugin but I need for a user to be able to either sign in
   or click a post category to only see the posts in a certain category. I see where
   I can set a category filter in the plugin settings but this will vary depending
   on the user. Can I add an inout field or a drop down where the user enters the
   Category and the plugin filters based on that variable?

 * OMG, I just looked at all the options for this plugin and they are almost unlimited.
   This plugin needs a Video explaining ho to use it. Unbelievable. 🙂

 * I found where I can add a ACF field to each user. This could be the Category 
   that the user would see when they are signed in. I just need to find the variable
   name and be able to add it to a querry.

 * So, are you using the option to get posts from username, i.e., are you using 
   the options in the panel “Get posts from username”?
