Blocksolid Gateway

Blockolid Gateway is a simple way to gate posts, pages, categories and their decendants with optional support for gutenberg and creation of a custom user role of “Member”.

• Install the plugin using the WordPress ‘Add New plugin’ functionality and activate.

• Once activated check the settings to setup.

• Categories, posts and classic pages gain a “Members Only” checkbox. Gutenberg pages gain a “Gateway” settings panel containing a “Members Only” checkbox.

• Any Category set to “Members Only” will block access to all posts within it and within any sub-categories.

• Any page set to “Members Only” will also block access to any child pages that it might have.

• Use your own theme’s styles to style the login box
