<p>Restrict content on your WordPress website with simple, rule-based access control.</p>
<p>ContentGate lets you control who can view your content based on login status and user roles. Whether you want to hide pages from non-logged-in users, limit access by role, or protect specific posts, ContentGate makes it easy to create clear rules and apply them instantly.</p>
<p>Set conditions once and control content visibility across your site without complex setup.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<h3>Rule-Based Content Restriction</h3>
<p>Content Restriction based on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Login Status</strong> (Logged in vs logged out users)</li>
<li><strong>WordPress user roles</strong> (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.)</li>
<li>Combined conditions using AND logic</li>
</ul>
<p>Create rules using a simple IF <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> THEN logic. Some examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>IF user is “Logged In” <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> access page A, B and C (logged out user cannot access A, B and C)</li>
<li>IF user role is “subscriber” or “editor” <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> can access page A, B and C (Contributor cannot access pages)</li>
<li>IF user is “Logged In” and role is “Author” <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> can access page A, B and C (Others will see content restriction message)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Apply Rules to Your Content</h3>
<p>Control access for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Entire website</li>
<li>Specific pages</li>
<li>Individual posts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Global Restriction Message</h3>
<p>Display a consistent message when unauthorized user tries accessing your restricted content:</p>
<ul>
<li>Show custom instructions</li>
<li>Prompt users to log in</li>
<li>Use smart tags for dynamic content</li>
</ul>
<p>This helps users understand why content is hidden and what they need to do next, reducing confusion and improving overall experience.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>ContentGate uses a simple rule system:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a rule</li>
<li>Set conditions (login status, user role, or both)</li>
<li>Choose content to restrict</li>
<li>Save and apply</li>
</ol>
<p>Content visibility updates automatically based on your rules.</p>
<h3>Easy Rule Management</h3>
<p>Create and manage your content restriction rules without complexity:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add, update, or delete rules anytime</li>
<li>Supports up to 3 active rules (unlimited in Pro)</li>
<li>Clean interface focused on quick setup</li>
<li>No coding or technical setup required</li>
</ul>
<p>Designed to keep content restriction simple while giving you just enough control for common use cases.</p>
<h3>What You Can Do with ContentGate</h3>
<p>ContentGate is designed for focused content restriction use cases:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Create a Login Requirement</strong>: Require users to log in before accessing your content.</li>
<li><strong>Restrict Content by Role</strong>: Control which user roles can view specific content.</li>
<li><strong>Protect Selected Content</strong>: Restrict access to specific pages or posts without affecting the entire site.</li>
<li><strong>Restrict Your Entire Website</strong>: Make your whole website accessible only to selected users or logged-in visitors.</li>
<li><strong>Combine Conditions for Better Control:</strong> Use AND logic to apply multiple conditions together:
<ul>
<li>Logged in AND specific role</li>
<li>Logged out AND restricted content</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who Is It For?</h3>
<p>ContentGate is ideal for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Website owners who need simple content restriction</li>
<li>Blogs that require login to view content</li>
<li>Small websites with basic access control needs</li>
<li>Private or internal websites</li>
<li>Anyone looking for a lightweight restriction solution</li>
</ul>
