Restrict content on your WordPress website with simple, rule-based access control.
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.
Set conditions once and control content visibility across your site without complex setup.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<h3>Rule-Based Content Restriction</h3>
Content Restriction based on:
<ul>
<li>Login Status (Logged in vs logged out users)</li>
<li>WordPress user roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.)</li>
<li>Combined conditions using AND logic</li>
</ul>
Create rules using a simple IF → THEN logic. Some examples:
<ul>
<li>IF user is “Logged In” → access page A, B and C (logged out user cannot access A, B and C)</li>
<li>IF user role is “subscriber” or “editor” → can access page A, B and C (Contributor cannot access pages)</li>
<li>IF user is “Logged In” and role is “Author” → can access page A, B and C (Others will see content restriction message)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Apply Rules to Your Content</h3>
Control access for:
<ul>
<li>Entire website</li>
<li>Specific pages</li>
<li>Individual posts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Global Restriction Message</h3>
Display a consistent message when unauthorized user tries accessing your restricted content:
<ul>
<li>Show custom instructions</li>
<li>Prompt users to log in</li>
<li>Use smart tags for dynamic content</li>
</ul>
This helps users understand why content is hidden and what they need to do next, reducing confusion and improving overall experience.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
ContentGate uses a simple rule system:
<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>
Content visibility updates automatically based on your rules.
<h3>Easy Rule Management</h3>
Create and manage your content restriction rules without complexity:
<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>
Designed to keep content restriction simple while giving you just enough control for common use cases.

ContentGate is designed for focused content restriction use cases:
<ul>
<li>Create a Login Requirement: Require users to log in before accessing your content.</li>
<li>Restrict Content by Role: Control which user roles can view specific content.</li>
<li>Protect Selected Content: Restrict access to specific pages or posts without affecting the entire site.</li>
<li>Restrict Your Entire Website: Make your whole website accessible only to selected users or logged-in visitors.</li>
<li>Combine Conditions for Better Control: 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>
ContentGate is ideal for:
