Hi Doug,

You can create single category menu item for it by:
1. Click menus>add new menu item: http://take.ms/KPw57

Similarly, when using the ask module, is there any way to restrict the user to posting in a specific category rather than being able to select an option?

-> You can restrict by manage the permission of certain category by:
1. Click Categories>select category>Permission: http://take.ms/kLz8a

Hope this helps

Fadhli,

Thanks for the reply. The issue is, I want to be able to confine a user to strictly a single category per menu item. Currently, if the user chooses to post, they can post to any accessible category despite which menu they're posting from. They can also click " Forums" at any time and all accessible categories are visible. I'm looking to make each category essentially inaccessible/invisible unless accessing directly through the intended menu. I've included some screenshots below to help point to the issue.

Thanks

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the screenshots, I understand better now. If this is the issue, unfortunately, it is not possible currently.
