Role Based Content Restrictor allows you to restrict access to individual posts, pages, and custom post types based on user roles or login status — now with a simplified and intuitive interface.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Restrict content based on user roles</li>
<li>Restrict content to logged-in users only</li>
<li>Restrict content to logged-out users (visitors only)</li>
<li>Set a custom redirect page per post</li>
<li>Configure a global fallback redirect from plugin settings</li>
<li>Clean radio-based UI to avoid conflicting settings</li>
<li>Fully backward compatible with previous versions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Improved Restriction UI</h3>
The plugin now uses a single “Restriction Type” selector instead of multiple toggles:
<ul>
<li>No Restriction </li>
<li>Restrict access to this content for roles </li>
<li>Restrict to Logged-in Users Only </li>
<li>Restrict to Logged-out Users Only (Visitors Only) </li>
</ul>
Only relevant fields are shown based on the selected option, making configuration clearer and preventing conflicts.
<h3>Smart & Conflict-Free Logic</h3>
The plugin ensures consistent behavior with a clear priority system:
<ul>
<li>Visitors Only → highest priority (logged-in users are redirected, except administrators)</li>
<li>Logged-in Only → restricts access to authenticated users</li>
<li>Role-based restriction → applies when selected</li>
</ul>
<h3>Visitors Only Behavior</h3>
When Visitors Only is enabled: 
– Logged-out users can access the content 
– Logged-in users are redirected to a selected page 
– If no page is selected, the plugin uses the post redirect or global fallback 
– Administrators are always allowed access
<h3>Backward Compatibility</h3>
Existing settings are fully preserved: 
– Older saved configurations are automatically mapped to the new interface 
– No data loss when switching between restriction types 
– Hidden fields are not submitted to prevent accidental overwrites
Perfect for: 
* Membership sites 
* Learning Management Systems (LMS) 
* Intranets and company portals 
* Client dashboards or gated content areas 
* Login / Register pages (visible only to visitors)
Lightweight, developer-friendly, and works with any theme or builder (Elementor, Gutenberg, etc.).
