 * Hi,
 * Pre-purchase questions…
 * 1) Do you have a list of custom form variations where we can select which form
   layout we want and just copy the code to add to our site? Would be nice to have
   examples and the shortcode/class combinations.
 * 2) Are users able to select a category when posting?
 * Thanks

 * 1. Please read the FAQ.
 * 2. Yes, you can use something like [select name=”post_category” description=”
   Category” values=”1:Uncategorized,5:Some cat”]

 * FYI, your FAQs are not very detailed for different form variations. Very basic
   indeed. Would be better to visually show 30 or more different form variations
   and their corresponding codes that make up the form. That way people can just
   copy and use the code for what they need. JMHO, but found another plugin that
   does just that. thanks

 * Hey Rinat! Thanks for creating this plugin.
 * Quick question, and it has to do with categories/checkboxes which is why I’m 
   replying to this post.
 * Is there a way of having the checkboxes/categories to be displayed as part of
   the post?
 * This shortcode [select name=”post_category” description=”Category” values=”1:
   Uncategorized,5:Some cat”] works to modify the post’s categories.
 * However, I was hoping there could be a way of having those categories be displayed
   as text so that if I select “some cat”, that answer will be displayed in the 
   post, and I can see the user selected “some cat”.
 * Thanks for your help Rinat!
