How to add a private category visible only by admin in woocommerce?

  • I’m setting up a multi-vendor ecommerce site using Woocommerce and Dokan Plugins. Only agricultural products will be sold on the site by me and other vendors.

    I want to add a private product category only available to me (not available/visible to other vendors) whenever i am creating a new product. For exemple When i (as the website admin) create a new product i can see/assign the product to the private category. But when other vendors are creating new products, they sould not be able to see/select the private category.

    The Mother of Code

    Hi there!

    There’s no setting for this in the default functionalities of WooCommerce, so it’ll have to be addressed through a plugin or custom code. I’ve done a bit of searching for you, and I’ve found the following instructions that may help you out further: https://wpmayor.com/create-private-woocommerce-category-easy-way/

    Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day ahead!

    Thank you @imazed
    I had a look at the link you provided. Unfortunetely it’s not actually what i am trying to achive.

    The scenario

    – When admin adds/create a new product in the backend, he can assign that product to a specific private category. See image of admin dasboard when adding new product
    – When other vendors (registered through DOKAN PLUGIN) add/create new product from their vendor’s dashboard; they can’t see or assign the product to the specific private category. See image of vendor dashboard when adding new product

    HOWEVER, In either cases, all products added by admin and vendors are available and visible to everyone who visits the website frontend.

    The purpose

    i want to position products sold by admin at a specific place on the frontend (homepage).
    The theme i am using has this SW WOOCOMMERCE SLIDER functionality attached to WPBAKERY PLUGIN which allows me to position products on the homepage based on a category.
