Category Previews

You are doing a good job with your English :slight_smile: The set-up for this is tricky even when English is your native language.

Close!

If it helps, here is what I have in my theme setting for the demo:

junk~restricted category preview~This category is only available to members of the "joinable-group" user group. Select for more information.~https://theme-creator.discourse.org/pub/logged-in-user-access~joinable_group

And how it relates to the description of the theme setting:

Theme Setting Part Value
category-slug junk
Preview Name restricted category preview
Preview Description This category is only available to members of the "joinable-group" user group. Select for more information.
https://example.com https://theme-creator.discourse.org/pub/logged-in-user-access
group joinable_group

And here is a diagram to show how the different parts relate:

In the image, " :lock: restricted" is the real category that can only be accessed by the joinable_group user group (and staff by default).
