woofie said:And to be clear, if you want an entry to be private, you must make sure that it is only listed in a category that is marked "private." It will be come clearer as you add plants and categories. I have lots of seeds, that I just want to inventory, that are listed in categories that are marked "private."
(bolding in Woofie's note was added by me...)
I think this statement is incorrect -- I just logged out and looked at my plant list and found that there were fewer plants showing than what I knew there were supposed to be. It turned out that somehow I had (unintentionally) marked one of my categories, "need photo" as private, and anything I had in that category, even though those things were also in public categories such as "vegetables," "hybrid," or whatever, was not showing up. So It appears that if you have something in a private category, no matter what other categories it may be in, only you can see it in your list. If this makes any difference to anyone...
