 * … if it would work with WP 3.5. Unfortunately i could not get it to work wether
   by user restrictions nor by role restrictions.

 * I’ve got it running on both 3.5 and 3.5.1 without any problems. Just installed
   it on a 3.5.1 install. Possibly a plugin clash? Have you tried deactivating any
   plugins remotely similar eg. user role manipulation plugins, or category ones?
   It works fine with the Members plugin from Justin Tadlock.

 * I’m having the same problem. These are the plugins that I have running:
 * Active Directory Integration
    Custom Login Page Require Login
 * I’ve cleared out all the other plugins, but I need the above to keep working.
 * Any advice/help would be appreciated!

 * We have really liked this plugin up to the 3.5.1 update. At that time, admin 
   users can no longer either see Categories nor assign posts/pages to categories.
   If we deactivate this plugin, they can see the categories again. At this point,
   we are looking for an alternative plugin. It’s pretty weird for my client to 
   have to deactivate this plugin when he adds new posts and then reactivate it.

 * Hi guys,
 * I have seemed to fix the issue please do the following and let me know if it 
   works for you.
 * I believe the issue stems from the following:
 * If you delete a category it remains in the cached options of categories a user
   can post to. Now since Restrict Categories will loop through all these categories
   and try find the ID a deleted category will return no id cause the query to mess
   up. This could be something inside 3.5 causing the issue.
 * So do the following:
 * Find:
    `$this->cat_list .= $term_id . ',';`
 * Above Add:
    `if ( !empty( $term_id ) )`
 * You will need to perform this twice. The lines associated with these edits is
   461 and 484.
 * Please let me know what happens 🙂
