    Hello, I’m using the Restric Author Posting plugin, to have the author post only about the category he’s restricted to. It seems that it does not communicate with your amaing plugin since the author is able to post article for any category. Are there any solutions since I run a multi author blog?

    Also will you be able for other (paid) custom work?

    As for restricting categories, this can be done per user role. Go to Frontier Post Role & Capability settings
    For each role you can enter allowed categories as a comma separated list.
    Remember it is the category ID’s that should be in the list.
    In FP advanced setting you can tick: Show ID in category list so you can see the ID’s in the category list.

    And I do not do paid work, and Frontier Post (and my other plugins) is Free 🙂

    Hi finnj I think I exaplained bad the situation.

    Let’s say:
    I have three authors: John, Claire and Mark
    Also three post categories: Cars (id=”1″), Weddings (id=”2″), Tennis (id=”3″)
    I have John that writes about cars, Claire about weddings and Mark about tennis.

    If in Role & Capability settings I type “1,2,3” every author will be able to post in these three categories right.

    I’m trying to let John only post on cars category. I accomplish this with the plugin I mentioned, but it does not communicate with Frontier.

    Thank you

    There is no integration between the 2 plugins, sorry

    In Frontier Post you can control this on Profile level, not User level
