Restrict Content Pro alternative
Restrict Content Pro is gone. Restrict.io is the alternative.
Restrict Content Pro no longer exists as a standalone plugin. It was removed from wordpress.org, and restrictcontentpro.com now redirects to the Liquid Web Kadence bundle. If you used it to restrict content, Restrict.io is the independent alternative that simply works.
