 * Is there any way to make posts, in a particular category, designated as “private”?
   
   I need this because otherwise all posts can be seen on the individual post page.

 * There is not an option for it, but the plugin does provide a filter hook for 
   customizing the post status:
 * `usp_post_status`
 * So a developer would be able to hook into that and modify the post status as 
   desired (e.g., private).
