      Hi
      I have a plugin that hides the categories based on user role – ‘WooCommerce Products Visibility‘

      Admin = display categories
      Shop manager/customer/registered/guest = categories are hidden
      This works on frontend, Search, category display etc
      But a shop manager can still see the hidden categories in the wcfm > Products > Manage product – add new/edit product
      Please see attached screenshot
      Can you please advise on how I may prevent these hidden categories from being displayed to shop managers

      Thanks
      Kaloomee

      Thinking about this some more
      I do have memberships set up too
      I suppose that what I am aiming to achieve is to enable, or disable, certain categories by membership
      (Worst case as it would be a manual setting for each shop manager, enable, or disable, certain categories on a shop manager by shop manager setting)

      ie – membership 1 = all categories enabled
      membership 2 = categories 1 to 20

      Hope this makes sense, I did look at wcfm plugin groups and staff but could not see that this is achievable with this plugin

      Aha – I think I have found a solution
      Capabilities > Product Categories
      Select only the categories that I would like shop managers to add/manage products

      Having now done this – May I request a feature – Also allow ‘select categories to NOT use as the current settings is to select all categories that shop manager ARE allowed to post in
      Also
      Selection only allows to select parent categories, no option to select chil/sub-categories.

      Thank you

      – Yeah right, vendor/shop manager will able to see only allowed categories from capability setting.

      Thank You

      Hi,

      Selection only allows to select parent categories, no option to select chil/sub-categories.

      – We have intentionally skip sb-categories and those are control by main categories.

      Otherwise this setting option will become very painful to use.

      Thank You
