Restrict Content Plugin

Restrict Content is a plugin that lets you restrict content across a membership website. It makes it easy for administrators to restrict content based on user roles, and it separates logged-in and non-logged-in users so you have full control over who can view or access content on your WordPress website.

The plugin lets you build different pages with customized functions using very little code. For example, you can easily create login, registration, and password-recovery pages with Restrict Content. With 10,000+ active installations, it’s well suited for limiting access to media, custom post types, pages, and API requests.

Within Your Membership Site, Restrict Content Helps You:

• Separate private and public content
• Protect content accordingly
• Let new users register
• Gather emails
• Restrict an entire page or just a specific section of it
• Control and manage user access

You can also upgrade to Restrict Content Pro for additional features on your membership site, either upgrade the free version or download the Pro one directly.
