The <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/p2" rel="ugc">P2</a> theme lets you quickly create posts from the front end, but by default it only allows you to tag them. This plugin lets adds a dropdown box to the post form so that you can also assign a category to the post.

P2 New Post Categories

Works nicely even on the "Mercury" child theme for P2 :)

Works!

Adds a dropdown menu of categories to the P2 new post form.

Once installed, head over to Appearance – P2 Header Ad and paste your ad code into the box.
Features:
<ul>
<li>preview your ad in the admin interface (see screenshots)</li>
<li>option to hide the ad for logged-in users</li>
<li>option to hide the ad for logged-in WP eMember users</li>
<li>works with and without a header image</li>
<li>option to show the same ad after the post content</li>
</ul>
I’ve optimised the plugin for a 468×80 pixel ad. Other sizes will work but may require your own CSS tweaks to make them look right.

P2 Header Ad

Works just fine! I'll use it for internal important notifications but definitely saved me some time for writing this feature myself :)

Nice!

Places a 468x80 pixel advert inside the header of Automattic's wonderful P2 Theme.
