Description

Simple PageAccess is probably the smallest, most powerful access control plugin you’ll ever install.

In under 100 lines of code, it gives you role-based control over who can view each page — without cluttering your dashboard or slowing down your site.

  • Adds a “Only Allow Logged In Users” checkbox to each page
  • Dynamically show checkboxes for each user role via clean in-editor UI
  • Restrict access with zero configuration, straight from the page editor
  • Display a centered heading message: “You are not allowed to view this page!” for unauthorized users
  • No separate settings page, no database bloat — just smart, surgical code

Perfect for membership sites, private client pages, internal portals, or any time you want fast, targeted access control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I restrict posts or custom post types?

Not yet — this version only supports pages. Post type support may come in a future release.

They’ll see a clean, centered message that says: “You are not allowed to view this page!”
