How to force a user group to post in a certain category ?

Today I have tried to restrict a user group to post in a specific category. The idea was that I was going to create a page where a specific category post needs to show. Then I created a loop for a specific category to show in that page. But the problem was that users have different option for category. That means they can select any category that they want and if the post it to other category except that intended category by me then that will not show up in my page. So I had to force them to select a specific category. Then I found the following plugin that does it for me. Really nice one.

Force user to create post only in specific category

To do so you need to install the following plugin below

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/

Then first, you have to go into Category Restrictions and restrict all categories for an entire role (in my case, Post Author), then go into Category Roles, select a specific user and select the category in which you want to give them permission to create a new post.

This way you will be able to force a certain user to post in a certain category which is necessary in blogging.

Restrict a user to view other post except he created

To restrict a specific user to view other post except he created need to add the below code to your theme function file. Put the below code to function.php and you are done.

function posts_for_current_author($query) {
        global $pagenow;
    if( 'edit.php' != $pagenow || !$query->is_admin )
        return $query;
    if( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
       global $user_ID;
       $query->set('author', $user_ID );
     }
     return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');

Restrict other users to see the contact form 7 option at dashboard

Today I have faced a new problem. I was asked by my clients to be able to set registered user just post. Then I set the default registered user role as author about which I know that he or she can be manage post and his profile only. But as I had contact form 7 installed there I can see that option is visible to author users also which can be devastating for your site. So I found the following solution . To do so check out the below plugin this is really handy.
