Not able to use with custom user role :(

    Hi Chris, this is a great plugin, and thanks for taking the time to make it.

    I was hoping to use it on my site. The issue I’m running into is that I created a custom user role that has the same capabilities (plus added an extra one) as an Author role. When I test it with the Author role everything works fine, as soon as I test using on a user with this custom role, the Categories section disappears (when in Gutenberg).

    I wonder how the plugin detects who should it hide the categories from and if there’s a way to target this by user capability.

    After further troubleshooting, I might have missed something. I think the cause of the categories section not showing any categories is different.

    Seems that I have to assign both the root category and then the sub-category. If I just assign the sub-category to a user it won’t work, it will show a blank category section.

    Please confirm.

    @r083r7 Looks like you are correct, if its a sub cat the UI doesn’t display if the parent isnt selected. I’ll have to dig around and see if I can filter around it or if its the Gutenberg UI itself preventing it.

    Cheers, Chris
