Content Control plugin – for user content restriction

WordPress plugins Aug 12, 2020 by Johnny

Cool plugin by Code Atlantic that allows you to restrict content only to logged-in users.

  • You can set it for widgets.
  • You can set it for page content (via shortcodes).

It’s not a membership plugin! Just a simple way of controlling which content is seen by logged-in vs logged-out users.

Content Control allows you to do the following:

  • Restrict access to pages/posts to logged in/out users or specific user roles
  • Restrict access to media, tags, categories, format to logged in/out users or specific user roles
  • Display a custom message to users who do not have permission to view the content
  • Redirect users who do not have permission to view the content to login page (redirects back to page/post after login), website homepage or custom URL
  • Display certain content on a page/post to logged in users only
  • Display certain content on a page/post to specific user roles
  • Display certain content on a page/post to logged out users
  • Apply custom CSS classes to on page content restriction shortcodes
  • Control the visibility of each sidebar/footer widget by selecting who can view each widget (everyone, logged out users, logged in users, specific user roles).
Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin

Uses for this plugin:

  • Wholesale WooCommerce hiding content from non-logged-in users.
  • Membership site hiding content from non-members. (This way can be less work that applying content membership rules everywhere.)
  • You have one little content bit or widget on your site that you don’t want to show to certain users.
