The Restrict plugin makes it easy for you to control and protect access to the content of posts, pages and custom post types.

You can restrict, show and hide content to:

• Everyone (all website visitors)
• Logged in users
• Users with a specific role (administrator, editor, author, subscriber, etc)
• Users with a specific capability
• Author of a post / page
• Tickera users (who purchased any ticket, any ticket for a specific event or a specific ticket type)
• WooCommerce users (who made any purchase or who purchased a specific product)
• WooCommerce users with limited time access to the content after they made a purchase of specific product
• Easy Digital Downloads users (who made any purchase or who purchased a specific product)
• Easy Digital Downloads users with limited time access to the content after they made a purchase of specific product

Integrations

Restrict has seamless integrations with Tickera Event Ticketing System for WordPress, Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce allowing you to restrict the sensitive content of pages or posts based on criteria specific for these plugins (i.e. show content to users who purchased a specific ticket or WooCommerce product). Also, Restrict has integration with Simple URLs. With this integration, you can create a redirection in SimpleURLs plugin and then restrict access to that redirect so that if the customer attempts to access redirect URL without fulfilling the required criteria, you can set in Restrict whether to display them a specific page or redirect them to some other, specific URL.
