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.
Unsure if this is a regression, but noticed today that noticed that the lock icon appears next to category names when Show subcategory list above topics in this category. is selected.
where are you seeing lock icon when Show subcategory list above topics in this category is enabled? I don’t see it… 
I have the general/photos subcategory set as private and hiding the badge:
I tried with rows and boxes but still couldn’t see a repro.
Rows with featured topics works. Boxes with featured topics is where it’s broken.
can you post a screenshot? i’m still not able to get a repro with Boxes with featured topics enabled:
Dit werkt niet meer voor mij na een recente update (ik denk vandaag, maar ik ben er niet 100% zeker van, ik heb het nu pas voor het eerst gemerkt)
I think because of this recent change?
Yea that did it you can just add
.badge-category__wrapper [class*=“d-icon-category.restricted”] {
display: none;
}
Via CSS. You obviously lose a couple things like the staff toggle from the plugin but it works.
It’s almost becoming a part time job to figure out how to revert all these little changes every couple updates I’m getting scared to press the button 
Bedankt voor de informatie, ik zal er deze week naar kijken.
This should fix it!
merged and fixed! you’re awesome 
thank you! 
works great. the component could probably use some lovin’ at some point, especially to make it a bit easier to enter the categories.
I refactored this component and removed the category/channel selector to make it easier to use. the category/channel selector just introduced too much complexity for a simple objective and wasn’t really necessary.
