SubCategory Protection (Free Version)

Hi all-

As you can see, I’m not real experienced with this plugin, but as I got such a quick and informed response last time I asked a question, I thought I’d ask another question.
I have a Category “Football” and a subcategory “Football News.” How can I protect the subcategory (Football News) without protecting the Football category? Is this possible with the free version? I thought about using tags, but this seemed so much simpler.

Any insight, help, advice…is appreciated.

EDIT: I tried Tag Access Restriction, and that didn’t work at all. Everything was visible.

Hello Tim,

Have you tried category restrictions? Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Category Access Restrictions.

I sure did Eduan. As a matter of fact, that’s what I’m using now. I just would have liked to organize things on my site by using subcategories.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

No problem. I can see why you would want to sub-categorize stuff (I can’t stop myself from doing it). :P

You could probably put a special tag for each (sub-)category and use tag restrictions instead of category restrictions. Would that work out better for you?
