Decide what unauthorized visitors see.
Smart Access Control & Denied Actions
Control who sees your content and what happens when access is denied.
Access Evaluation
Who They Are – User Role, capability, login state
How They Joined – Member registration source
What They Have – Membership plan, payment status
When They Joined – Membership signup day and date
Denied Actions
Custom Messages – Content with rich text, images & formatting
Smart Redirects – Login, upgrade or landing pages
Inline Registration Forms – Registration forms inside restricted content
Teaser Content – Preview to encourage signups or upgrades.
How Access Decisions Are Made
Content Restriction lets you control access based on who the visitor is and how they interact with your site.
Who They Are
User Role, capability, login state
How They Joined
Member registration source
What They Have
Membership plan, payment status
When They Joined
Membership signup day and date
This unified approach removes the need for multiple plugins or custom logic.
