Description

The addon Restriction Timeouts adds an access timer to Restrict Content Pro, allowing each visitor to read restricted content for a defined period (for example, 15 minutes per day) before the paywall blocks reading again. Designed for news sites, editorial blogs and subscription-based publications, it functions as a tasting window that demonstrates the value of content prior to requiring paid registration.

Key Features of Restriction Timeouts

  • Temporary Preview Window
    Releases restricted content for the configured interval before the paywall reactivates.
  • Visitor-specific Countdown
    Measures reading time individually per session, without affecting other users.
  • Scheduled Limit Renewal
    Resets the access window after the cycle defined by the administrator.
  • Membership-Level Control
    Applies distinct timeout rules based on the Restrict Content Pro plan.
  • Native Integration with Restrictions
    Operates on already-configured rules within Restrict Content Pro without rewriting original logic.

Benefits of Restriction Timeouts

  • Smooth Conversion Strategy
    Readers experience the material before deciding on paid subscription.
  • More Funnel Signups
    Creates a natural registration trigger when the preview time ends.
  • Preserved Indexing
    Maintains part of the content visible to search engines and first-time visitors.
  • Lower Bounce Rate
    Reduces immediate churn caused by paywalls that block everything outright.

Who Is Restriction Timeouts Suited For?

  • Publishers of news, long-form reporting, or columns who want to test a timed preview model before the paywall.
  • Editorial sites already running Restrict Content Pro who wish to reduce initial friction with unregistered readers.
  • Those selling premium text content (analysis, reports, written courses) who seek an automatic tasting window.

The Restriction Timeouts is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate; the module will appear in Restrict Content Pro settings. The file is complete and ready for immediate installation.

For subscription-based portals, balancing the attraction of new readers and protecting paid content is a daily challenge. Restriction Timeouts fits this equation by scheduling, within Restrict Content Pro itself, the exact time each visitor has to try the material before deciding to subscribe, without requiring custom development or altering existing restriction rules.
