Hi Guys, I have posted this in general support but it may need to be here too.
I have been reading other posts for hours but cannot find an answer.
Basically I have a 'review' theme that is a custom post type, I cannot specify any categories for this post type that I create in posts>categories, I want to be able to use this function.
The reason for this is that I have a slider on the homepage that will only display posts from standard categories that I define in posts>categories, I want the most recent reviews to be able to be shown in the slider by having a category called 'Featured' (for example.
Is this possible? at first I thought custom fields may work by using something like 'category - "Horror"' but I dont even have access to custom fields from within the custom post type editor (see screenshot).

I have thought about plugins but i'm not really sure what I am supposed to be doing. I have also contacted the developer but haven't had a reply, yet.
The theme is 'Valor' - http://www.web2feel.com/valor/
The review post type DOES have a custom category selector called consoles but the slider cannot use these.
Any thoughts would be amazing!
