About this tool.
Restrict content on your WordPress website with simple, rule-based access control.
ContentGate lets you control who can view your content based on login status and user roles. Whether you want to hide pages from non-logged-in users, limit access by role, or protect specific posts, ContentGate makes it easy to create clear rules and apply them instantly.
Set conditions once and control content visibility across your site without complex setup.
Key Features
Rule-Based Content Restriction
Content Restriction based on:
- Login Status (Logged in vs logged out users)
- WordPress user roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.)
- Combined conditions using AND logic
Create rules using a simple IF → THEN logic. Some examples:
- IF user is “Logged In” → access page A, B and C (logged out user cannot access A, B and C)
- IF user role is “subscriber” or “editor” → can access page A, B and C (Contributor cannot access pages)
- IF user is “Logged In” and role is “Author” → can access page A, B and C (Others will see content restriction message)
Apply Rules to Your Content
Control access for:
- Entire website
- Specific pages
- Individual posts
Global Restriction Message
Display a consistent message when unauthorized user tries accessing your restricted content:
- Show custom instructions
- Prompt users to log in
- Use smart tags for dynamic content
This helps users understand why content is hidden and what they need to do next, reducing confusion and improving overall experience.
