Here the piece of code works without error messages. * Otherwise you will have to rebuild the code step by step, as I explained in earlier posts. (step 1 .. step 2 …), this way you can see at what time things go wrong. * Regards * Thread Starter [thoseitguys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoseitguys/) * (@thoseitguys) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-with-post-code/page/2/#post-12384710) * [@crslz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crslz/) il try figure out how to make them hidden myself or show a pop up message stating sorry you cannot access that category 🙂 * Thread Starter [thoseitguys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoseitguys/) * (@thoseitguys) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-with-post-code/page/2/#post-12384721) * [@crslz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crslz/) Thank you for the help i mistyped one line of your code.

I dont know if you saw my message earlier. * Is there a way to modify this code you helped me with to just hide those Category IDs using the postal code?
