    Hi! First: I love the plugin! It works perfectly and is oh-so-easy to set up.

    In a future update, would it be possible to have it so that new users can be automatically restricted to a certain category? Right now, I’m just manually setting it with your plugin, but making it an automatic feature would be AWESOME! Or even if there was a way to do a bulk action to do many users at once.

    Thanks for making the plugin. It’s great!

    I’d like to keep it simple as possible so i wont add any kind of admin option panel to it, but you can use the built in hooks to set the category for each new user ex:

    add_action('user_register','set_default_cat_for_user');
function set_default_cat_for_user($user_id){
        $default_category_id = 2; //change 2 with your default category id
        update_user_meta( $user_id, '_author_cat',$default_category_id);
}

    Can I use this plugin to set it for all existing users with the role of Author?

    I have a few hundred users and don’t want to switch it for each of them.

    Awesome plugin bro! and thx for the tip!
    >>>
    Set the default category for new users with the Author Category plugin:

    add_action(‘user_register’,’set_default_cat_for_user’);
    function set_default_cat_for_user($user_id){
    $default_category_id = 2; //change 2 with your default category id
    update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_author_cat’,$default_category_id);
    }
