 * Hi, is there a simple way to set a whole category as private? There are so many
   plugins coping with the role system but there’s nothing to set all past and future
   posts in this category as private.

 * Found this site by searching for “private category” on the forum (did you try
   that?)
 * [http://www.coppit.org/code/](http://www.coppit.org/code/)
 * Scroll right to the bottom of the page. I haven’t checked out whether it works,
   but it looks like it claims to do what you’re asking for.

 * That’s great! I was always reaching the same pages telling me to use the old (
   and not existing anymore) “Private categories” plugin.
    Thanks for that!

 * Glad it helped. So you can mark this topic “resolved”? And maybe you could let
   us know how you get on with the plugin to help future readers?

 * This plugin allows to set categories which will be only visible to logged-in 
   users. It’s also possible to choose what to display for private categories (titles
   only, nothing…).
 * Great plugin.

 * That’s good to know. I may try using it on a new site I’m setting up.

 * “Category Levels 0.3.2” doesn’t seem to work with 2.2 but “Category Access 0.8.1”
   works well.
