 * Hello everyone,
 * I’ve written a plugin to limit the visibility of posts based on category. To 
   use it, you edit the user options at the top of the code, setting levels for 
   each category. If a given user doesn’t have a high enough level for any category
   of a post, they will either see nothing, or see a message (depending on what 
   you’ve specified).
 * You can think of this plugin as viewlevels, except for categories instead of 
   individual posts.
 * Get the plugin [here](http://www.coppit.org/code/category-levels.php). Get the
   padlock icon [here](http://www.coppit.org/blog/wp-images/padlock.gif).
 * I will post any updates on my [code page](http://www.coppit.org/code/).

 * Hm… It seems like this plugin is basically the same as [private-categories](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/33930)
   by Will Wyatt, but not as feature-ful and supported. I’ll probably kill development
   of this plugin and just switch to his.

 * Just installed this category-levels.php worked fine, good work!
 * I have tested it and me registering as a user with level 1, the part I think 
   could be room for improvement is that I really just want users of level 1 to 
   view protected posts but not be able to write posts and manage category etc…..
   Of course it would be nice if the user configurations are within the WP admin
   panel instead of inside the php file.

 * Hi David,
 * Is there any possibility to extend your plugin to hidden categories under sidebar
   as well until users are login?

 * Thanks to everyone for the feature suggestions and support. Please also email
   me, since I rarely check this thread. (Is there no email notification of posts?)
 * The most recent version hides categories in the sidebar. I’m not sure when I’ll
   be able to write an options panel for it, or separately handle posting and reading.
   I’ve basically scratched my itch, and am waiting for someone else with the proper
   motivation to continue development.

 * The link above does not work. But I found the code on coppit’s site, here is 
   the new URL [http://www.coppit.org/code/](http://www.coppit.org/code/)
 * It’s great, works like a charm, and has been updated to include an admin interface—
   just go to your Manage tab, and youll see a new subtab that says Category Levels.
 * Thanks Coppit!
