WordPress Content Restriction Plugin
Restrict is content restriction for WordPress that simply works: lock posts, pages, categories or a single paragraph, and decide exactly who gets in. Launch your paywall, membership or private client area this afternoon - on the theme you already use.

One Mission, Two Plugins
Whether you build with the block editor or with Elementor, there is a Restrict made exactly for the way you work.
Any theme, any content type. Protect posts, pages, custom post types, categories, menu items, widgets and Gutenberg blocks - or lock just the one paragraph that matters, and leave the rest as the teaser.

You designed every section with care - now decide who sees each one. Show, hide and personalize Elementor sections, columns and widgets right inside the editor you already know, for members, customers and campaign visitors.

Every lock you will ever need, none of the bloat you won't. Restrict stays invisible until the exact moment you need it.
Restrict any post, page or custom post type individually or in bulk - including every post in a category, with a single rule.
Tease the intro, lock the rest. Restrict only a part of any page or post and let visitors see exactly why it is worth unlocking.
Automatically generated shortcodes restrict any slice of content, and a login form shortcode lets members sign in from anywhere on your site.
Show or hide any menu item or WordPress widget based on who is looking - each one with its own visibility criteria.
Sell access to premium content with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads, or reserve it for Tickera and Venuera ticket holders - your store already knows who paid.
Restrict any Gutenberg block right in the editor, or pick up Restrict for Elementor and control every section, column and widget on your Elementor pages.
Visitors from your email campaign, your ads and your socials each see their own version of the page - based on URL parameter, referrer or cookie.
No redesign, no lock-in. Restrict plugs into the WordPress site you already have - and keeps working when you change themes.
How It Works
Add Restrict to your WordPress site like any other plugin. No code, no complicated setup - it works with your theme out of the box.
Pick posts, pages, categories, parts of content, menu items or widgets - and set the restriction rules that fit your site.
Open the gates to logged-in users, specific roles, campaign visitors - or sell access through WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and event tickets, and let your content pay for itself.
Use Cases
Lessons shared in group chats? Not anymore. Only enrolled students see the materials - and access can expire when it should.
Give members a world of their own - posts, pages, menus and widgets that appear only for the people who belong.
Your articles have value - charge for it. Tease the intro, lock the rest, and let the paywall do the selling for you.
Every client sees only their own project. No mixed-up logins, no awkward "please ignore that page" emails.
