<h4>Built-In Protected Members Only Content</h4>
<p>What is Members Only Content, Members Only content allows you to create special content that only your members can see.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>all post in the members-only content area is protected.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Only if a user is logged in they will be able to access, the default access level is a subscriber for all content in the “members-only content” section.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>members-only content does not affect shortcode content restrictions, this feature allows for full content protection.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>New in 4.5</h4>
<ul>
<li>Present Users who are not logged in with a link to “Register or Login Here”,</li>
<li>Redirect Users to current page after login.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Create a Post or Page or protect existing content.</li>
<li>Place the shortcodes around the content you wish to protect.</li>
</ol>
<p>New Shortcode Options Use With Options</p>
<ul>
<li>display=”Custom text” change the message for none logged in user (default: You Must be Logged in to view this content)</li>
<li>linkto=”/wp-admin/” Link to a specific page, recommended usage would be to use /wp-admin/ without http://www this is very good practice in case if you are using SSL or custom subdomain, Note that this will also disable Auto redirect (default: WordPress Login Page)</li>
<li>linktext=”Click Here” change the text for the link (default: Register or Login Here)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example Shortcodes</h4>
<pre><code>[membersonly]
Premium Content Here
[/membersonly] 
</code></pre>
<h4>With Options</h4>
<pre><code>[membersonly display="Login To Download" linkto="/wp-admin/" linktext="Login Here"] protected content here [/membersonly] 
</code></pre>
<p>the user will then have to be logged in to view.</p>

Protect content in posts and pages with shortcodes.

<p><a href="https://lcweb.it/privatecontent-multilevel-content-plugin/free-version/" rel="nofollow ugc">PrivateContent</a> born in 2012, aiming to be the <strong>best solution to restrict your website contents</strong> and a different membership platform. Different because it uses a standalone database: <strong>quicker than the normal WordPress users one and not limited by the bulky roles assignments.</strong></p>
<p>To have a multi-level users database will be easy and fast, keeping your users out of the WordPress backend while creating a modern and optimized users management area in the backend.</p>
<p><strong>No forced pages, no forced URLs</strong>: the plugin is designed to seamlessly work and integrate into any website.</p>
<p><a href="https://lcweb.it/privatecontent-multilevel-content-plugin/free-version/" rel="nofollow ugc">CHECK THE DEMO »</a></p>
<h3>🌟 Main Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>User levels:</strong> unlimited. Each user can have one or multiple levels</li>
<li><strong>Easy user management:</strong> Forget the outdated WP users management, everything is clean and fast. From admin user addition to users sort and search</li>
<li><strong>3 user statuses:</strong> Users can be disabled without deleting them and registered users can be also placed in pending status, waiting for the admin approval</li>
<li><strong>Contents restrictions:</strong> restrict WP pages and posts in few clicks. Bulk restrict through post categories. Precisely define which user levels can access contents. Restricted elements will be totally unreachable, also for search engines</li>
<li><strong>User reserved page:</strong> target a container page and it will show different contents depending on the logged user. Everything under a single website URL!</li>
<li><strong>1-click website lock:</strong> Do you need a totally private website? It only takes a click!</li>
<li><strong>Login and registration forms:</strong> Place them everywhere you want in your website: you will never have to change your desired workflow to adapt PrivateContent</li>
<li><strong>Registration form builder:</strong> add/remove/sort the fields as you prefer. Add text blocks and paginate fields. Finally, a modern HTML5 data validation and honeypot anti-spam</li>
<li><strong>Blocks and shortcodes:</strong> Quickly insert your forms into your website directly through WP blocks or using the shortcode wizard</li>
<li><strong>Import/export hub:</strong> Move users through websites, import existing WP users, export in CSV/XSLX, move the whole plugin setup  </li>
<li><strong>Style it as you prefer:</strong> Choose among six message styles and tune every aesthetic aspect to fully integrate into your website</li>
</ul>
<p>And even if it’s a free version, each system is packed with a lot of options.<br />
Everything to adapt as best as possible to every website’s need!</p>
<h3>🕒 Get started in minutes</h3>
<p>Whether you have a large site or creating a new project, PrivateContent is <strong>ready to operate out of the box</strong>. With <strong>6 preset styles</strong> and eventually importing existing WordPress users, your multilevel-protected website will be ready in a flash!</p>
<h3>🌎 100% translatable</h3>
<p>Each section is translatable: the plugin has already been (fully or partially) <strong>translated into 27 languages!</strong><br />
Additionally, it is fully compatible with WPML and Polylang for dynamic strings.</p>
<h3>📑 GDPR Compliant</h3>
<p>The plugin fully satisfies the most recent law requirements in terms of data protection and users management. For example, there is a dedicated module to let users <strong>delete their profiles autonomously</strong>.</p>
<h3>⌨️ Dev oriented API and hooks</h3>
<p>PrivateContent is extremely flexible and <strong>ready to be extended</strong> almost in any way you could imagine. The <a href="https://lcweb.it/products-overview/#pc_suite" rel="nofollow ugc">official premium add-ons</a> offers incredible features for specific needs, but if you are a developer there’s a <a href="https://lcweb.it/privatecontent/public-api" rel="nofollow ugc">dedicated documentation</a> guiding you step-by-step to build your systems on top of the PrivateContent engine!</p>
