I took a look at that at the same time, but couldn’t work out how to effectively target the right bit of HTML to hide it.
My issue was that I can’t seem to make SASS variables work in selectors.
If I could work out how to do that, could also make it compatible with alternate lock icon.
Glad this was bumped, I’ve had multiple users ask me how they can use a section (that they’ve always been able to use) because they just assume lock=can’t use this.
You can use this TC to change the icon to whatever you like:
I (used to) use unlock-alt for the very reason you state - until I developed the need to hide them for some categories!!
Here 'tis:
Discovered a regression! When I put in a category/subcategory, it was breaking the TC due to the change above corrupting the CSS.
Fresh PR now (also tidies up something else I missed):
Merged. thanks Nathan. I didn’t even notice. I loaded it into my test instance and had a quick look, but I didn’t see any errors and it seemed to be working as expected (but admittedly didn’t check subcategories 
).
And another one!
This one adds the ability to cope with alternative lock icons (from Category Icons), and tidies up another loose end with the Discourse Category Headers.
Merged 
Nice add - thanks!
I really need to spend some time and finish getting the category list_type chooser working. I just need to get a working findby() function.
