Laurent AlquierIs it possible to set a Question category by default in the New Question form?
I would like the selection to be set to ‘Questions’ by default instead of ‘Select a category’,
DominicTo set a question category by default, you can go to your theme folder and create a new folder , named it dwqa-templates.
Inside your new folder, create a new file: question-submit-form.php.
Now, open up the new file in notepad or any code editor, and copy/paste the code at this link: http://snippi.com/s/b3p4x1w
Then find the line 41:
'selected' => isset( $_POST['question-category'] ) ? $_POST['question-category'] : false,
Replace with the following code:
'selected' => Your Categories ID
Note: You can find your categories ID In backend, when you edit a category, you will see your category ID in the URL on your browser address bar which looks like this: …&tag_ID=
Hope this helps!
BiorexoHello Dominic, i would liek to set pain relief category as my default category, is there one piece of code that you could post into my website biorexo.com for me please ? I see the code above but the instructions are very complicated for me
DominicI have helped you show the default categories in the question submit form, you can open the question-submit-form.php. to change the categories id that you want to show.
To find the categories Id, you can open the Dashboard > Questions > Categories > edit the categories and the ID will show on the browser address bar.
see the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/q5cl1w
Or let me know the categories that you want to show, I will help you fix this issue.
thank you, yes the default category is correct but the slug in the permalink is not showing, http://www.biorexo.com/pain-relief/uncategorized/test-14/
In this case, you should use the shortcode to show submit question categories form, we have included this shortcode for the Pro version.

hey Dominic, for some reason biorexo is being repeated in my designwall url, see example; http://www.biorexo.com/biorexo-ask-question-how-to/ and http://www.biorexo.com/biorexo-how-to-questions/ …..can you please remove the “/biorexo-” ?
Are you want to remove the /biorexo from the URL that you have submitted here. Right?
yes and here http://www.biorexo.com/biorexo-how-to-questions/ should be http://www.biorexo.com/support-forum
Hi Dominic, the category is defaulted as requested but when i want to ask a question and select another category the remaining dropdown categories are not available to select, please can you find a workable solution for a default category and other categories to be available if selected ?
