    Is is possible to automatically assign a category to posts?
    I am attempting to create a “prayer wall” for a church site powered by WP.
    I would like anybody (guests, registered users, etc.) to be able to post a request and have the category “prayers” automatically assigned to the posts so that only those posts will be shown on a page of prayer requests.
    Also, is it possible to have ONLY this category automatically approved?
    Further, would there be a better way (ie: plugin, template, ???) of accomplishing this feature?

    Thank you

    Admin/Settings/Writing. You can define which category should be the default.

    Auto-approval, however, is a very different matter. You may need to look for a “shoutbox” or similar plugin to achieve that.

    esmi, thank you for the response. However, I am not looking for a way of setting the default category. What I am needing is a way of automatically assigning a specific category to posts from a particular page and not to every post made to the blog. The purpose being to allow the page to show only those posts in the category “prayers”. THis category being auto assigned based upon the page so that visitors and non-blogger types would not need to choose a category. Perhaps the category could be pre-selected in the form some how. I am not certain how to do this.I am looking to do something like this: http://www.mlwebtechnologies.com/index.php?option=com_prayercenter&view=prayercenter&Itemid=67
