This way, you can have multiple discussion boards aimed for different user groups, all in one WordPress website!

Create Multiple Forum Categories

To define your Multiple forum categories, you first need to add them in the CM Answers Pro admin menu. You can have as many categories as you wish.

Filtering Multiple forum categories

A category shortcode is a compound of a number of defined parameters, which can be inserted anywhere on your site. Here’s an example of what a shortcode might look like on the back end:

[cma-questions cat=first form=1 limit=2]

This shortcode is defined to display the last two questions from the category named “first”, in addition to one “ask a question” form. On the front end, the information will look like this:
