Mandatory Post Categories System for Sngine | Admin Controlled Category Plugin Tutorial

In this video, I demonstrate how to install and use the Mandatory Post Categories System for Sngine plugin.

This plugin forces users to select a category before publishing a post, similar to a blog system. Admins can create, manage, and delete unlimited post categories, while users cannot change the category after posting. Admins also have the ability to change the category of any existing post for moderation purposes.

🔑 What this video covers:

Plugin installation step by step
Creating post categories from the admin panel
Mandatory category selection before posting
Viewing category-wise posts on a single page

This plugin helps organize posts, improve content structure, and make your Sngine community more professional and easier to manage.

Why You Need This Plugin

Default Sngine posts are unstructured, which can lead to:

Mixed and confusing content
Difficult moderation
Poor content discovery
Low-quality discussions
This plugin solves these problems by enforcing mandatory categorization, just like a professional blog or forum system.

🔑 Key Features
✔ Mandatory Category Selection

Users cannot publish a post without selecting a category.
This ensures that every post belongs to a clear topic area.

If a category is not selected, the system displays a validation message and prevents posting.

✔ Admin-Controlled Categories

Only admins can manage post categories.

From the admin panel, you can:

Create new categories
Edit category names
Enable or disable categories
Delete categories when no longer needed
Users cannot create, edit, or delete categories, keeping your platform structured and controlled.

✔ Unlimited Categories

There is no limit to the number of categories you can create.
You can organize posts based on your niche, such as:

Career
Business
Education
Health
Technology
Personal
✔ One Category Per Post (Clean Structure)

Each post can belong to only one category, ensuring:

Focused discussions
Clean feeds
Easy moderation
✔ User Restriction After Posting

Once a post is published:

❌ Users cannot change the post category
This prevents misuse and keeps content consistent.

✔ Admin Override for Existing Posts

Admins have full moderation control and can:

Change the category of any existing post
This is useful when:

Users select the wrong category
Content needs re-organization
Moderation adjustments are required
✔ Category-Wise Post Pages

Each category has its own dedicated page where all related posts are displayed together.

Example:

/category/career
/category/business
This helps users quickly find content related to a specific topic.

✔ Category Label on Posts

Every post clearly displays its category label, making it easy to understand the post topic at a glance.
