I think what you need to do is get one of the default category group creation page permalink, then modify on this php file regarding the `create group` button permalink, so you can step the select category step on your site.

JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/default/default.php

Thanks. I'm happy to customize it myself, I just need to know which files make up the group creation form. The groups/default/default.php looks great for anything sidebar, but I'm looking for

<div class="es-content">

    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="..." class="o-form-horizontal" data-form="">

        <div data-field="" data-element="header" data-id="21" data-required="1" data-fieldname="es-fields-21" class="DS04636367278411957">

	    <div class="es-field-header">

                <div class="es-snackbar">

	            <h1 class="es-snackbar__title">Group Details</h1>

                </div>

                <p>Set the default group details.</p>

            </div>

            <input type="hidden" name="cid[]" value="21">

        </div>

and what follows.

Thank you!

Hey there,

I believe this is the file you looking for -> JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/steps/default.php

Yes, thank you!

Also, I only learned this in the process (maybe add to documentation): Fields for group creation and administration can be edited in Groups -> Categories -> Any category -> Custom Fields

For batch edits, the SQL database table is _social_fields.

Whatever the Title and ID (in Core when editing custom fields one by one) is the constant to use in Joomla Language Overrides if you want to rename labels.

You're welcome.

Yes, all the custom field title and description is rely on the language string, if you would like to modify this for support multilingual, i would suggest you to use Joomla language override feature.

Hope this help.
