## Description

This plugin enables Editors to see only their content and categorized content. Uncategorized
posts from Administrators do not show up for Editors.

### Hide A Post Settings

Typed in the categories that I don’t want to have seen:

Awesome, Spicy

### Example Posts (seen from Administrators)

 1.  Tomato (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Fruit, Red)
 2.  Potato (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Vegetable, White)
 3.  Broccoli (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Vegetable, Green)
 4.  Mushrooms (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Vegetable, White, Awesome) – This
     is a post, I want to hide from other non-Administrators based on the “Awesome”
     category.
 5.  Apple (Owner: Administrator, Catgories: Fruit, Red)
 6.  Pear (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Fruit, Green, Awesome) – This is a post,
     I want to hide from other non-Administrators based on the “Awesome” category.

     a post, I want to hide from other non-Administrators based on the “Spicy” category.
 8.  Peach (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Uncategorized) – I’ve just started creating
     this post as an Administrator
 9.  Blueberries (Owner: Administrator, Categories: Fruit, Blue, Uncategorized) – Even
     thought I’ve started adding categories to this post, it won’t show up based on
     the “Uncategorized” category.
 10. Raspberries (Owner: Editor, Categories: Fruit, Red, Awesome) – Since I’m an administrator,
     I can still see this post, even though its in the “Awesome” category.

#### About the plugin

collaborate on content creation, while enabling the dungeon master to retain some“
secrets”.
