Thanks for the suggestion, I will try the “remap terms.”
Basically, I have a dozen or so parent cats each with several subcats. I want to restrict posting to only the subs.
With the prior version of your code, the dropdown list in quickpost showed and allowed posts to all cats, both parents and subs.
With the current version (‘dev’), the dropdown list only shows one category.
I will repost here the results of the remap and thank you again for your plugin and all your help.

Thanks for the effort. I uploaded and activated the new version of Role Scope (1.3.28-dev) and it has changed, but still doesn’t seem to work with Quick Post from the front end.
Now, if a user (set as a subscriber) goes to his admin dashboard and enters a post from there, role scoper works does only show those categories that I set up with a Post Author role. So it works great for posting from there just fine.
But, when that same subscriber tries to use the quick post from the front end, he only sees one category to post to.
So, I think we are halfway there, any more ideas?
thanks,

In reply to: [Plugin: Quick Post Widget] Visual Editor Instruction ManualHello inapan,
Great plugin, love it.
I was wondering if you know how I could disable certain categories for posting? I have tried various plugins such as Restrict Categories” and RoleScoper to set restrictions for category posting, but it seems that since Quick Post works from the frontend, that it bypasses whatever category settings for role or permissions.
I would like for quick post to show the dropdown or checklist including the parents because it shows the organizational structure, but don’t want authors to be able to post to those cats.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

kevinB,
I am having difficulty getting the solution you outline here to work in my situation which is basically the same – only allow posts to certain categories. When I set those roles as you outline, the users can still post to any category, so it seems that whatever settings I apply in rolescoper have no effect.
I also run the “quick post widget” which allows registered users to post to categories straight from the front end quickly and simply.
Are you aware if there is some conflict or incompatibility between quick post and rolescoper?
Thanks,
sdc
