Access and Content Restriction Frequently Asked Questions
Please check the user guide to learn more about this plugin
How do I block (or unblock) an individual post?
The plugin supports blocking or restricting access to individual posts in two ways:
1 – Using a URL method which you can list in the plugin restrict URL section,
2 – On the metabox found on each post edit page which lets you define the access restriction rules for the specific post.
Is there a registration and login widget without the CM Registration plugin?
No. You need to have both the Registration plugin and the Content Restrictions plugin to be able to display a registration and login widget.
You can of course always use the WordPress default login and registration screens.
Can access be restricted to logged-in users?
Can I restrict only certain URLs or pages of my site?
Yes. The plugin includes a URL filtering functionality to help you restrict access to content on your site which is generated with unique URLs. It can also support URL parameters and restrict only URL with specifically set params.
To learn more about URL filtering with the Content Restriction Plugin see this User Guide.
Can the content restriction be applied to specific WordPress roles?
Can I restrict access to certain pages for a specific period of time?
Can the content restriction be applied to specific Custom Post Types?
Can I prevent only new accounts from accessing parts of my site? (Content drip)
Yes, you can set this time restriction, in days, by post type and role. Also, in individual pages.
Learn more: Site Access Restriction (SAR) – Restricting Content For X Days After Registration.
I use a plugin that has categories. Can I restrict access to those?
Likely yes. The Site Access Restriction plugin allows you to control access by role to categories of all post types. However, since that may involve third-party code, the feature might be obstructed by the other plugin.
Can I show or hide specific menu items for different users?

Access and Content Restriction Reviews

This is a great option for blocking content and giving access to content to our premium users. This plugin has been wonderful to integrate into our website and improved our customer process overall. Would recommend to anyone in the construction business!
Brad Sasser - Lots of options
Quite powerful! I managed to lock my blog posts and some of the pages to different user roles... lots of possibilities there!
Danny Johnson - Stellar team and service
What a stellar team and service. The relevance and value in the membership features are a reflection of the experts behind it. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Edu - Good cost-benefit
I used it to make sure only my premium subscribers had access to the best deal pages and it worked like a charm. Had some questions during setup and the support team helped me, so definitely recommend it
Linda Mendez - Cool plugin
Great alternative to block content. I especially like that you can hide only part of the pages. My only suggestion would be to make the interface more user-friendly.
