The mmbrs plugin allows you to restrict content access using shortcodes.
Content may be restricted based on role, capability, user meta, and logged-in status.
<h3>What makes mmbrs different:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Restriction based on role, capability, user meta, and logged-in status is 
all in one place.</li>
<li>You are able to restrict content based on if a user is=’not’. For 
example, Show this content if a user is not an administrator.</li>
<li>You can pass multiple variables to the roles and capabilities shortcodes. 
For example, Show this content to users who are subscribers, 
contributors, or editors.</li>
<li>By default, any content within these four shortcodes is not displayed in 
feeds. You may also set the showinfeed=’yes’ attribute to show the 
content in feeds.</li>
<li>It is as lean as I could get it, with logic ordering to cut down on 
processing. Which isn’t saying much, but if you’ve got suggestions, I’m 
open to hearing them.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The four mmbrs shortcodes are:</h3>
<ul>
<li>[mmbrs_logged_in]</li>
<li>[mmbrs_roles]</li>
<li>[mmbrs_capabilities]</li>
<li>[mmbrs_user_meta]</li>

<h4>Other Notes:</h4>
For every shortcode, except [mmbrs_logged_in], if a user is not logged in, the shortcode will return nothing. The exception is when using is=’not’ in [mmbrs_logged_in], as in [mmbrs_logged_in is=’not’]Content.[/mmbrs_logged_in]
By default, everything is hidden from feeds unless showinfeed=’yes’ is defined.
<h4>Motivation for this plugin:</h4>
I wrote this plugin to fill some holes, reduce some unnecessary functions, and fix some minor bugs I found in other plugins. I now use this, and only this, to control all shortcode-based content access on my membership-style websites.
The Members plugin checks roles by checking capabilities. You are not supposed to do that. The proper way of checking roles is included here. Notes on this:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can#Notes" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress current_user_can() Notes</a></li>
</ul>
Aside from that, I love and use the Members plugin and suggest you check it out for other role- and capability-based content access management.
I removed a bunch of stuff from the User Meta Shortcodes plugin that I didn’t want. If you want the additional functionality, I recommend that plugin.
In the end, I wanted very clear control of in-post content via shortcodes. I wasn’t finding anything that was totally stripped down. So I wrote this.
