With Restrict WordPress plugin installed and activated on your website, it is very easy to restrict the visibility of the WordPress widgets. When adding new or editing existing widget within any widget area of your website, you will be able to select which criteria is required for the widget to appear.

By default, it will be selected to Everyone which means that the widget will be visible and accessible to all the visitors of your website. However, if you want the widget to be visible to only certain users, here are the rest of the available criteria:

  • Logged in users – a widget will be visible to all the logged in users
  • Users with specific role – select the specific user role required for the widget to display
  • Users with specific capability – select the specific user capability required for the widget to become visible
  • Logged out users – if this option is selected, the widget will be visible to logged out users

Additional options will be available as criteria if you have Tickera, WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads installed on your website. For more information please check our Integrations documentation.
