Hello Brajesh,

I saw the following plugin: Blog Categories for Groups Plugin. I’m wondering if this plugin and the Simple Front End Post combination will help me replace my current group blogs implementation.

I use Categories to create group blogs. It takes six plugins to accomplish this. This is a lot of expense and bloat on my site. One of the plugins releases updates at least 2 or 3 updates a week, which costs me a lot of time in testing and bug reports. Your plugins seem to be more stable!

I need the following capabilities:
• Create a front-end form that my Members can use.
• Define fields that are normally used to create blog posts: Title, Description, Featured Image, Add Image to post, Publish Date, and Category
• A Date Picker is used to select a Publish Date.
• Members can upload images, documents, and video links.
• Assign the same front-end form to multiple groups by just changing the category.
• Hide the category on the front-end form. The ADMIN will assign the category on the form but hide the category field from the Member. Members cannot view or change it.
• Create a group’s blog archive sorted by date or title or author.
• Create the single page and archive page layouts using Elementor

I present a Group Tab with links to several different group pages. I plan to continue to use BuddyPress Group Tabs Creator Pro to do this. I don’t want a new tab to automatically be created.

Finally, I currently use BuddyPress Extended User Groups Widget to list all the posts for groups that an individual Member belongs to. I’m assuming I will still need this plugin as well. If the new plugin does this, please let me know.

I know that this is a ton of detail, and it may be difficult to envision what it looks like. I can give you credentials to my site so that you can look at the implementation before you answer.

I love your plugins and would love to use more of them to support you and to limit the number of developers and plugins on my site.
