Private Group Facebook Like

[Td_skt]

Hello,

So i read some similar post on this forum and no answer… So I dont want to make like Facebook. I just want the same private group system.

So the goal of a forum is people register. For exemple, i would like to make free course on Youtube (private link) and i want put this private link in a special category.

I dont want this catergoy be public. Else people never register. Its normal no ?

If there isnt this feature, i can pay, no problem.

Sure! That is also possible on Discourse. To add that, you’d use this #theme-component in addition to private categories as Rishabh shared:

Category Previews

This component will allow you to add “category previews” to your categories page so users are able to see that a category exists without having access to the actual category. The preview looks like a standard category, but can link to a specified page where a user can be educated on how to gain access. I’ve included a simple example below, but there are many different ways this component can be configured. Please be sure to read all of the information included in the Theme Settings. Theme Crea…
