## Description

Front-end Categories is a tiny and super simple plugin for creating categories and
sub-categories on the WordPress front-end using Ajax.

The plugin comes with two shortcodes for use:

 1. [front-end-cat] will add a form consisting of a text input and submit button to
    create a category.
 2. [front-end-subcat] will add another form consisting of a text input, dropdown of
    existing categories to choose from and a submit button.

The forms can be used independently of each other (neither one needs the other to
work) and all output messages are wrapped in span tags with appropriate classes 
for easy styling.

Any problems / queries / feature requests / etc. please leave a message on the support
tab.

## Installation

 1. Install.
 2. Activate.
 3. Use [front-end-cat] and/or [front-end-subcat] anywhere in a post or page.
 4. Style span.fec-error and/or span.fec-success if you want to.
 5. You’re done!
