Overview
This plugin allows you to easily mark certain pages with “Permissions” and only users with those permissions will be allowed to see the contents of the page.

Not for All Pages
by Abhisek Dev·8 months ago
This plugin cannot hide the content of pages created with template files.
OMG! AMAZING RESTRICTION
by junglejim620·5 years ago
WOW! This is a crazy good plugin, don’t leave home without it.
This plugin can be restricted pages more than other membership plugins can’t do…
After I installed and set. The BuddyPress members page, activity stream, and others are now blocked, restricted from the visitors. LOVE IT.
OMG! Now it even works for the cellphone for those pages it didn’t work before. Now using this crazy good plugin? My whole site is 100% restricted from the cellphone, Laptop, Desktop 🙂 🙂
I recommend for website owners if you still need restrictions that are impossible to hide before? Install this plugin will clear your headache.
I am giving 10 stars for this crazy good plugin.
Keep up your excellent plugin. Truly, it really saved my headache.
1000 times Thank You!!!
Good Luck with your super creation. You Rock!!!
Awesome

I never review plugins – and I’ve got a pretty high bar for what’s acceptable in my book. This is an EXCELLENT plugin.
SO simple. Very easy to restrict.

I am in the very early stages of website freelancing and hit a road block after trying several content subscription plugins. Not one did what they said…until now. It is so simple to install and use this plugin…I wasn’t sure that I properly restricted certain pages to registered users–because it was that easy. Thank goodness for this plugin. Very easy…took me five minutes to do what I tried to accomplish in two days.
Simple, works well.

Simple, works well.
If I can just suggest an improvement : add the right taxonomy in a new “screen option” column, in the “all pages” page. Thank you.
