Create New Category on Wordpress Front End
I'm building a Wordpress powered website where a user can create a post on the front end. 
I'm using Gravity Forms to do this which is working well. 

I'd also like them to be able to add a new category however i'd like to do it in a specific order: 

I'd like them to create a new category, typing it into a single line input first, click save, then go to another form and fill out the post information where it gives them an option to post it into the category they've just created in a dropdown. 
I've managed to do this part using Gravity Forms - not too difficult using their built in form creator. 

The problem I have is I have no idea how to go about adding a box to allow users to add a new category on the front end. 
I've read [this post][1] but don't understand it. 
There is a plugin called [Quick Post Widget][2] that inserts a widget into a sidebar and then allows a user to create a new post INCLUDING the ability to add a new category themselves so I know it is possible to do. 

Any help would be very much appreciated! 

Many thanks in advance!
