 * maybe via shortcode or via filter/hook

 * Options:
    Allow to choose category?: Untick Default post category: whatever
 * However given this users can’t select another category

 * thank you!
 * I need the Form for several Blog Archive Pages, single one outputs a diffrent
   category.
 * I think somebody around here at the support forum wrote a alternative version
   which allow multiple forms with diffrent settings?

 * Yes gpspake has written another fork with multiple forms.
 * Also Tareq (author of this plugin) has written a FrontendPro version which has
   multiple forms using a much better technique and is extremely customizable. It
   is still being developed but should be released soon.
 * Otherwise from your last message I gather that you only want to set a category
   and not give the user a list of categories to choose from?
 * If that is so then with the [development](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/frontend-updates-2rrr-fork?replies=75)
   version you may be able to do what you need along the lines of the showtime example
   in the examples directory which uses a complex example with taxonomies but is
   easily adaptable.
