    Hello. How can I create a new page and display a feed of blog updates for all users there? Maybe there is some kind of shortcut or other ways?

    Hi Van,
    Welcome to BuddyDev support forums.

    BuddyBlog posts are normal blog posts and you can use any of the WordPress post listing plugin/shortcode for this purpose.

    Please explain, can I create, for example, a “blogs” category and that by default all blog entries are published only in this category?

    Hi Van,
    Yes, you may do so.
    Are you using BuddyBlog or BuddyBlog pro? We can provide more specific assistance if you can let us know.

    Thank you.
    You may use this code snippet(and update the include ids) to limit which categories the user can post.

    Hi Van,
    You will need to change this line

    
     'include'               => array( 1, 35,97 ),

    Assuming that your category id is 25, it can bewritten as

    
     'include'               => array( 25 ),

    Regards

    Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I have created a new category “Blogs”. In the link, her id is 31. And then I specified 31 in your code, which I added to the site. After that, I tried to publish a blog entry, but it was published not in “blogs”, but in the “news” section.

    Hello Van,

    Thank you for the acknowledgment. Is your category seeing on user posting form?. Please check the following link:

    Also, Make sure your code is same as the following one.

    
add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddyblog_show_custom_cats', 100 );

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

	$tax['category'] = array(
		'taxonomy'		=> 'category',
		'view_type'		=> 'checkbox',
		'include'		=> array( 31 ), //Your category id,
		'orderby'		=> 'slug',
		'order'			=> 'ASC'
	);

	$settings['tax'] = $tax;

	return $settings;
}

    Regards
    Ravi
