 * I was wondering if there is any way to make a Knowledgebase Category that is 
   completely private. I am trying to have admin documentation, and would like the
   information to be only available to users listed as admin. But whenever I make
   all pages private in a category, that category disappears.

 * [@tnt27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tnt27/) – I ran into this same issue.
   I wanted to make the entire knowledgebase private only to admins, and finally
   figured out a solution. But then, without being an admin, I could view an individual
   knowledgebase article if I knew the URL. So, of course I made all articles private,
   and then nothing displayed on the knowledgebase page! My workaround – until I
   have time to dig into the code, was to create a test article (blank) and assign
   it to each category. Now, admins can see everything – each article is marked 
   Private: – and non-admins can’t view them – just the test article. Admittedly,
   the article count for each category is 1, but not a show-stopper for me.

 * I found the same solution. It would just be nice to have a category that didn’t
   need that test article. Thank you though! Hopefully something like this might
   be implemented in the future.
