Restrict specific user to only see a specific post category

    Hello, I’m trying to restrict my website custom post categories, so each logged user will only see posts from a category named after him/her. I’m creating a custom dashboard – a blog, but I need to restrict which category each logged user will able to see in that blog.
    Example: When user A logs in, he will see the blog inside dashboard, but only “user A” categories, but won’t see the other categories in that blog. User B will see only “user B” categories, and so on.
    I’ve been trying for a few days with no success, not even to prevent logged out users/visitors to see those categories.
    Please help.

    Thank you.

  • Hello, I’m interested in Content Control plugin for very similar purpose.
    I tried to create a restriction by selecting “selected Categories” (sorry my WP is in French, I’m not sur that this is the exact message in EN) but I got “The results could not be loaded” in the category selection field. Did you got the same ?
    Interested if you find a solution to your pb.

    Hello @omarce , no I did not have that message. This plugins did nothing at all in my website. I’m not saying this is a bad plugin, but perhaps its the Divi theme I’m using – from Elegant Themes. Pages, posts, projects and custom posts are shown like there were no restrictions at all. The only thing I got working was the warning about content only for logged users – I can do that within WordPress default commands.
    If this would work, would save a lot of work.. but instead I will have to create a page for each user, made them private (logged users only) and put different password on each page, and tell each user his/her on passwrd.
    If you have another idea, please share.
