I want to restrict authors to a specific Category to write in. A plugin that is suggested on many blogs is restrict-author-posting. Unfortunately, this is no longer maintained and was removed from the plugin store.
The only suitable but not a free plugin I found was PublishPress Pro. I really don’t want to pay for that functionality.
An additional plus would be, that some editors can only publish in a certain category as well.
I am willed to write/edit some code if needed – I have experience with PHP etc but have never done something in WordPress itself. I could not find any post that solved it without the plugin I mentioned above.
Thanks in advance
