Não funciona com WordPress 5.0

Não restringe as categorias, pelo menos a partir do WordPress 5.1.1 🙁

by Jennifer Moss

Works as Described!

We use categories as separate “Blogs” on our site. So it is critical that one blogger does not post in another’s category. This makes it simple to make sure of that. Thanks!

Does not work on the mobile version of wordpress

I really enjoyed this plugin to get the smartphone and test to see how he quit. To my misfortune he showed all categories ability to author that I had set only one category to be displayed. TRADUZID
