The trouble is…deciding on which is the right solution for your project.

So, if you are still working out the best way to:

add restricted access to site content inc. pages, video pdf etc;

give members-only access to pro subscription services with billing, for example;

offer premium products behind a secure, paywall system.


Content Control is a lightweight and powerful plugin that allows you to take complete control of your website’s content by restricting access to pages/posts to logged in users, specific user roles or to logged out users.

The plugin also enables you to restrict access to certain parts of a page/post using shortcodes.

The plugin allows you to 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 restricts access to media at the content level via the media attachment pages. Content Control does not restrict access at the server level to actual media files.
