    So I found an old post about how to limit categories…but I’m not sure how to limit categories and tags? Once I use the code, it erases the ability to select any tags while making a blog. How can I choose what categories and tags are allowed from the front end?

    Here is the code that works great with categories but I’m stumped on the blog…

    function buddyblog_show_custom_cats( $settings ) {
    $tax = array();

    $tax[‘category’] = array(

    ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’,
    ‘view_type’ => ‘dd’,
    ‘child_of’ => 29, //CHAGE It with the correct ID,
    ‘orderby’ => ‘slug’,
    ‘order’ => ‘ASC’
    );

    $settings[‘tax’] = $tax;

    return $settings;
    }

    Hi Ken,
    hope you are doing fine.

    Please use the following code and modify the term ids with your own to include only them.

    

function buddyblog_limit_terms( $settings ) {

	if ( ! isset( $settings['tax'] ) ) {
		return $settings;
	}

	$tax = $settings['tax']; //it is multi dimensional array

	$taxonomy = 'category';//name of taxonomy

	// Array  of term ids to include.
	$terms = array(1, 53 ); //term ids

	if( ! isset( $tax[ $taxonomy ] ) ) {
		$tax[ $taxonomy ] = array();
	}

	$tax[ $taxonomy ]['include'] = $terms;

	//update settings
	$settings['tax'] = $tax;
	
	return $settings;

}
add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddyblog_limit_terms' );

    Hope that helps.

    Brajesh

    Hi Ken,
    Sure we can. here is the updated code from the above example.

    

function buddyblog_limit_terms( $settings ) {

	if ( ! isset( $settings['tax'] ) ) {
		return $settings;
	}

	$tax = $settings['tax']; //it is multi dimensional array

	$tax_terms = array(
		'category'=> array(1, 53 ), // tax_name=> term_ids
		'post_tag' => array( 7, 9 ), //add as you please, //you can add other taxonomy too
	);

	foreach ( $tax_terms as $taxonomy => $terms ) {

		if ( ! isset( $tax[ $taxonomy ] ) ) {
			$tax[ $taxonomy ] = array();
		}

		$tax[ $taxonomy ]['include'] = $terms;
	}

	//update settings
	$settings['tax'] = $tax;

	return $settings;

}
add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddyblog_limit_terms' );

    It is simplified to use multiple taxonomies.

    Hope that helps.
