Description
The Content Restriction addon adds to User Registration a layer of access control that blocks pages, posts and content blocks according to the role, login status or the registered user’s function. Aimed at those who maintain exclusive member areas, student materials or paid content on WordPress, it organizes who sees what without relying on external membership plugins.

- User role restriction
Defines which WordPress roles can view specific pages and posts. - Login status restriction
Releases content only for authenticated users or only for logged-out visitors. - Partial content blocking
Hides internal sections of the post via shortcode, keeping the rest visible to everyone. - Customizable messages
