Perfect For a SaaS Application
·1 year ago

This plugin is great for restricting custom post types by user role on an e-commerce site.

Just what I needed to work on a custom post type.
by GinaW·3 years ago

Great plugin! Lightweight. Does exactly what it should. Thank you!

Very useful plugin!

Great plugin that provides very useful solutions. I have been looking for it for a while.

Possibilities are really interesting for a multisite installation
by Ludovic S. Clain·3 years ago

With a little elbow grease, the possibilities are really interesting for a multisite installation, such as limiting the total number of WooCommerce products per site (regardless of the author). The plugin is not easy to learn, not very intuitive and would surely deserve to be more explicit on certain settings, however, it does the job and the author is responsive and attentive… so I recommend it 👍 

The missing piece in membership sites
by backpackingseries·4 years ago

For the uniqueness it offers, supporting all post-types, a total lack of competition, the simplicity of operation, and that it’s 100% free, I wonder why this plugin is not already hitting 100K installs.

As for features, I would love to see (1) native integrations with membership and subscription plugins, (2) Ability to limit based on parent – child CPT relationships, and (3) better UI

All said, even in it’s current form, this plugin is gold. The author is extremely helpful, willing to login to your site and helping to troubleshoot. It doesn’t get better. Truly wish this plugin gets the limelight it deserves. Thank you Condless!
