   Does anyone know of a good way to get p2 to function so that users can choose categories AND tags from the front end? I can get the category dropdown or checklist to appear no problem, but getting it to register when I hit post is not working.

   At a quick glance, they appear to only be checking for:

   • user_id
   • post_title
   • post_content
   • tags
   • and setting the status to post

   You'd have to edit the functions: prologue_new_post() and prologue_new_post_noajax() found in the theme's 'functions.php' file to see your addition in the post.

   I'm having the same problem.
   Dwarrington: Can you post an update if you find a solution? How did you get the categories dropdown to show?

   Thanks for the quick reply tjeastmond! This is where I am so far and the category still does not get recorded. I am fairly new at this, so any help is appreciated.

   My post-form.php includes the following:

   <?php
   $user = get_userdata( $current_user->ID );
   $name = isset( $user->first_name ) &amp;&amp; $user->first_name? $user->first_name : $user->display_name;
   ?>
   
   <div id="postbox">
   	<form id="new_post" name="new_post" method="post" action="<?php bloginfo( 'url' ); ?>/">
   		<input type="hidden" name="action" value="post" />
   		<?php wp_nonce_field( 'new-post' ); ?>
   		<div class="avatar"><?php echo prologue_get_avatar( $user->ID, $user->user_email, 48 ); ?></div>
   		<div class="inputarea">
   			<label for="posttext"><?php printf( __('Hi, %s. What's bothering you?', 'p2'), wp_specialchars( $name ) ) ?></label>
   			<div>
   				<?php wp_dropdown_categories('name=post_category&amp;class=post_category'); ?>
   				<textarea name="posttext" id="posttext" tabindex="1" rows="3" cols="60"></textarea>
   			</div>
   			<label class="post-error" for="posttext" id="posttext_error"></label>
   			<div class="postrow">
   				<input type="text" name="tags" id="tags" tabindex="2" autocomplete="on" value="<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Tag it', 'p2')); ?>"
   					onfocus="this.value=(this.value=='<?php echo js_escape(__('Tag it', 'p2')); ?>') ? '' : this.value;"
   					onblur="this.value=(this.value=='') ? '<?php echo js_escape(__('Tag it', 'p2')); ?>' : this.value;" />
   				<input id="submit" type="submit" tabindex="3" value="<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Post it', 'p2')); ?>" />
   			</div>
   			<span class="progress" id="ajaxActivity" style="display:none" ><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/i/indicator.gif"
   				alt="<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Loading...', 'p2')); ?>" title='<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Loading...', 'p2')); ?>'/></span>
   		</div>
   		<div class="clear"></div>
   	</form>
   </div> <!-- // postbox -->

   And then in functions.php,

   function prologue_new_post() {
   	if( 'POST' != $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] || empty( $_POST['action'] ) || $_POST['action'] != 'prologue_new_post' ) {
   	    die();
   	}
   	if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
   		die('<p>'.__('Error: not logged in.', 'p2').'</p>');
   	}
   	if( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
   		die('<p>'.__('Error: not allowed to post.', 'p2').'</p>');
   	}
   	check_ajax_referer( 'ajaxnonce', '_ajax_post' );
   	$user_id		= $current_user->user_id;
   	$post_category  = $_POST['post_category'];
   	$post_content	= $_POST['posttext'];
   	$tags			= trim( $_POST['tags'] );
   	if ( $tags == __('Tag it', 'p2') || $tags == 'Tag it' ) $tags = '';
   
       $post_title = prologue_title_from_content( $post_content );
   
   	$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
   		'post_author'	=> $user_id,
   		'post_title'	=> $post_title,
   		'post_category' => $post_category,
   		'post_content'	=> $post_content,
   		'tags_input'	=> $tags,
   		'post_status'	=> 'publish'
   	) );
   	echo $post_id? $post_id : '0';
   	exit;
   }
   
   function prologue_new_post_noajax() {
   	if( 'POST' != $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] || empty( $_POST['action'] ) || $_POST['action'] != 'post' ) {
   	    return;
   	}
   	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() )
   		auth_redirect();
   	if( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
   		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
   		exit;
   	}
   
   	check_admin_referer( 'new-post' );
   
   	$user_id		= $current_user->user_id;
   	$post_category  = $_POST['post_category'];
   	$post_content	= $_POST['posttext'];
   	$tags			= $_POST['tags'];
   
   	$title = prologue_title_from_content( $post_content );
   
   	$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
   		'post_author'	=> $user_id,
   		'post_title'	=> $post_title,
   		'post_category' => $post_category,
   		'post_content'	=> $post_content,
   		'tags_input'	=> $tags,
   		'post_status'	=> 'publish'
   	) );
   
   	wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
   	exit;
   }
