    Lost Categories

    Does anyone face the problem of their categories disappearing totally after you lock them for exclusive access only?

    so basically what I am facing now is that all the posts in my previous category has been wiped out, and i have manually restored. There are no issues with my public and members only categories, but when I add a private category, it does not appear in the site, and when I return to the page editor, it disappears.

    Hi Greta, after I made some categories private, the entire category was removed. In addition, after I removed the forums app and re-added it to my site, now nothing is showing on my forum page. Do check it out the forum page is https://leonlimcl.wixsite.com/chinesetutorsnetwork/forum

    @Greta Galubauskaitė thank you for getting back. I restored to a previous version through the site history. I am currently restoring the forums manually.

    Hi, Leon. Private categories should appear in the category list, unless you selected them not to be shown in the category permissions settings. Please check them again and if they still do not appear, please let me know the url of your forum - we'll check if there's any issue.
