Employing Content Gates to Restrict Site Access
|
You can open part of your WordPress site to visitors who are not logged in while leaving other pages to be accessible only to logged-in users or to registered users with specific WordPress user roles. Our plugin gives you the ability to restrict particular posts as well as implement full WordPress page restrictions to website visitors who have yet to pay a subscription as an easy way to monetize premium content access within a private section on your membership site. You can define requirements for joining the tiered membership to provide access to specific content based on the membership type - set up your content gates today. |
Settings Options To Restrict Site Access to Content Based on Post Type |
Restricting Site Access to Content by Specifying a List of URLs
Dashboard Controlling URL Access Rules |
The page restriction functionality of our WordPress plugin is easily configurable with many powerful features, giving you precise user role access. You can restrict access to content based on URLs that are generated by third-party plugins directly from the restrict content URL dashboard and apply restrictions on specific actions used within the third-party plugin. For example, you can restrict users with certain subscriber roles from accessing content generated by a third-party plugin or viewing search results from external sources. |
Adjust Content Dripping and Access Scheduling
|
Restrict access to your WordPress site for users until they have been actively engaged for a designated number of days. Configure distinct time constraints for each user role to tailor the access duration accordingly. Choose a specific page users will be redirected to if they still don't have access. For even more control over your WordPress content, set a timer on each post/page or any custom post type of your site. |

Restricting Content Access by Specific Date or Period
Date/time restrictions |
Restrict pages or site sections by a specific time or date. Define it for any post type, URL, category, or a specific post/page. |
Restrict Content Access by Registration Date
|
Restrict access to post or pages which were published before the user registered. Newly registered users will only be able to see content created on or after the registration date, giving you fine-grained user role access. This method also support content dripping as the admin or editor can define the number of days after the registration date when a content will be revealed to the user. |
Registration Date restrictions |
Restrict Content Access by Post Creation Date
Post Date Creation Restriction |
You can manage user access based on their roles and the creation date of the posts. For each user role, you can specify the number of days that must pass after a post is created before they can access its content. This ensures that non-logged-in users are automatically denied access to the content of that type. Additionally, you can display a message to inform the user when the content will be accessible to him. |
Restrict Content by Category in WordPress
|
Prevent users with certain roles from accessing certain categories of your content. This applies to any post, page, or custom post type, even if third-party plugins created them. Example: let only Authors view posts with the category 'Sensitive'. Or hide special WooCommerce products from regular customers. This is the best solution for WordPress content control on your site based on user membership type or user role - start restricting categories today. |
