It’s not as strange as it seems…

The idea is simple enough, the person who asked me the question wants to show a forum in 2 areas of the site but have each display specific categories.

The shortcode would look omething like this:

anspress category="boats, cars, trucks"

…then in another area of the site we could use:

anspress category="music, videos, paintings"

Simply using the shortcode anspress would show all categories as expected.

So why split the categories? In this case we would like to keep specific categories private for members with the other as a public area — but we don’t even the public to know what categories exist in the member area.

Nothing changes on the backend admin section.

If it’s a simple loop then I can add the code manually (if it’s possible).

Sincerely,
Simon

Why people insist to use FAQs plugins for a Forum is beyond me.

I probably misused the word *forum* in the traditional sense. We don’ need the full-blown features a forum offers as these can be top heavy and add overhead for a small team. In our case a plugin which can post questions and allow the members to promote the best answer is more than enough. I’m also looking at CM Answers which *does* allow for displaying specific categories in various places.
