Running a multi-author site efficiently requires a good editorial workflow. If you have authors working on a specific topic, then one of the things you can do is limit their publishing capability only to a specific category. In this article, we will show you how to restrict authors to specific category in WordPress.
This is particularly useful if you have an author specific column on your site. Perhaps something like Dear Abby, or maybe you want to only allow certain authors to write in the Tech Category.

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Restrict Author Posting plugin. Upon activation, you need to go to Users screen, and click on the edit link next to the user you want to restrict.
On the user’s profile page, scroll down to the Restrict Author Post to a categorysection and select the category for the user to post into.
Next time the user creates or edits a post they will see the notification that they are allowed to post only in that particular category.
If you want to remove the restriction from an author account, then simply visit their user profile again and scroll down to the Restrict Author Post to a category section. This time you need to select “No Restrict” to remove the restriction.

We recently switched from WordPress comments to Disqus comment system on WPBeginner. One of our users pointed out that comments on our custom post types comments weren’t migrated properly. For a temporary solution, we simply disabled Disqus on certain custom post types. In this article, we will show you how to disable Disqus on custom post types in WordPress.
Disqus not showing comments on our custom post types was an error on our part. When importing comment to Disqus, we couldn’t use the normal sync feature because of the size of our site. We had to generate an export file and send it to Disqus to pre-import the comments. This meant that we only did this for posts and not other post types. So when Disqus showed 0 comments on a custom post type item that had 50+ comments, it really was because Disqus didn’t know that it had any comments because we didn’t tell that to Disqus.
So in other words, if you were going to disable Disqus on custom post types because it didn’t work, then maybe you should check your import settings first. But if you want to disable Disqus on custom post types for some other reason, then follow along.
Video Tutorial
If you don’t like the video or need more instructions, then continue reading.
Before you make any changes make sure that you have enabled syncing between Disqus and WordPress. It is also recommended that you always make a complete WordPress backup of your site before making any big changes.
When you are ready, simply add this code in your theme’s functions.php file or asite-specific plugin.
We hope this article helped you disable Disqus on custom post types in WordPress. Also check out how we prevented Disqus from overriding Comments count in WordPress.
