 * Glad to help. What you describe is not a current feature of the plugin. As explained
   on the plugin [Installation page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/#installation),
   the `[user-submitted-posts]` shortcode displays the post-submission form, not
   posts. There also is a shortcode called `[usp_display_posts]` that displays a
   list of submitted posts, but it does not filter by category in the free version
   of USP.
 * I hope this helps. Let me know if I can provide any further infos.

 * Yes I have seen and I agree on everything.
    But if I in the filter settings for
   any category, it becomes a disposable Plugin, ie for single category. So with[
   usp_display_posts] or [user-submitted-posts] i will get the list of a single 
   category. I don’t know if I’ve made myself clear. Greetings

 * Precisely I mean here.
    If I hide Multiple Categories> Allow users to select 
   multiple categories. So I use Hidden / default category Use a hidden field for
   the post category. This hides the category field and sets its value via the next
   option. Category ID for hidden field 11 Specify Category IDs to use for Hidden/
   Default Category (Separate multiple IDs with commas) Greetings

 * At the moment as you have designed it, I use it for a single category and it 
   works.
    I set BOOKS for writing excluding all other categories, it works and 
   I print them on the screen. But it is limited to this. In short, specifically,
   I would like to write and print 3/4 categories Max. Both in writing and in video
   printing example; – I write the books category – I read / print the books category–
   I write the category Glasses – I read / print the Glasses category etc. etc.

 * Yeah I don’t think it’s possible with the free version. It may be possible with
   pro version, but pro is aimed at experienced WP users who are comfortable working
   with custom fields. Also, discussion about any pro plugin is forbidden here at
   WordPress.org (it’s for free versions only). So if you have any further questions
   about USP Pro, please send them via our [contact form](https://plugin-planet.com/support/#contact)
   and we’ll reply asap. Thank you.
