Restrict Content Pro WordPress Plugin

Restrict Content Pro – Complete WordPress Membership Plugin

Restrict Content Pro is a powerful WordPress membership and content-restriction plugin designed for creating paid subscription websites, private member portals, premium content libraries and members-only communities.

It allows website owners to create multiple membership levels, collect subscription payments and control which visitors can view specific posts, pages, archives, media, custom post types, WordPress blocks and selected content sections.

Members can manage their subscription information through frontend account pages, while administrators can review active, pending, cancelled and expired memberships from the WordPress dashboard.

Flexible Membership Levels

Restrict Content Pro allows administrators to create membership packages according to the website’s business model.

Each membership level can include:

• Membership name and description
• Free or paid access
• One-time or recurring pricing
• Subscription duration
• Renewal frequency
• Maximum number of renewals
• Optional signup fee
• WordPress user role
• Membership status
• Content-access permissions

This flexibility can be used to create monthly subscriptions, annual plans, lifetime access, introductory trials or free member accounts.

WordPress Content Restriction

The plugin can protect entire posts and pages or only selected sections inside publicly accessible content.

Access can be controlled according to:

• Membership level
• Membership status
• WordPress user role
• Access level
• Logged-in status
• Selected content rules

Supported restrictions can be applied to posts, pages, custom post types, archives, media displayed within protected content and WordPress REST API requests. The original media-file URL may still remain accessible unless additional file-protection measures are implemented.

Frontend Member Dashboard

Restrict Content Pro provides account-management functionality that allows members to review and update important subscription information without entering the WordPress administration area.

Members can view:

• Current membership status
• Renewal or expiry date
• Available upgrades or downgrades
• Subscription-cancellation options
• Payment history
• Printable PDF invoices
• Account name and email
• Password and profile information

The plugin automatically creates essential pages for registration, successful signup, account management, profile editing and billing-card updates.

Membership Upgrades and Downgrades

Members can move between eligible subscription levels according to the configured membership rules.

Restrict Content Pro can calculate a prorated adjustment based on the amount already paid and the remaining duration of the current membership. This allows members to upgrade without automatically paying the complete new-plan price again.

Recurring Membership Payments

Membership plans can be configured to renew automatically through supported payment gateways.

Administrators can decide whether:

• Auto-renewal is always enabled
• Auto-renewal is disabled
• Customers can choose their renewal preference

Payment-gateway accounts, transaction charges, supported countries and recurring-payment capabilities are controlled by the relevant payment provider.

Supported Payment Gateways

The current official plugin listing identifies:

• Stripe
• Manual payments
• PayPal in Pro
• Authorize.Net in Pro
• Braintree in Pro
• Custom gateway development through the Pro API

Payment availability can depend on the installed edition, plugin version, external gateway account and local availability.

Membership Emails and Invoices

Restrict Content Pro includes notification workflows for important membership events.

Supported email categories include:

• Paid membership activation
• Free membership activation
• Membership cancellation
• Membership expiration
• Payment received
• Renewal-payment failure
• Other configured membership events

Printable invoices can display the business logo, company information, address, email, custom header, notes and footer text.

Reliable message delivery still depends on the WordPress mail configuration. An authenticated SMTP provider may be required for important transactional emails.

Discount Codes

The Pro functionality allows administrators to create promotional discount codes for membership purchases.

Discounts can use:

• Percentage-based reductions
• Flat-rate reductions
• Maximum-use limits
• Optional expiry dates
• Custom descriptions
• Unique promotional codes

Discount functionality is useful for launches, seasonal offers, partner promotions and member-acquisition campaigns.

Reports and Membership Analytics

Restrict Content Pro includes reporting tools for reviewing membership income and website performance.

Administrators can view total earnings across selected periods and analyze performance according to individual membership levels. The plugin also provides member and payment records that can be exported for additional reporting.

WooCommerce Integration

Restrict Content Pro can control who is allowed to view or purchase selected WooCommerce products based on their membership access.

Optional WooCommerce-related addons can also provide features such as automatic member discounts. WooCommerce, payment gateways and additional extensions must be installed and configured separately.

Content Dripping

The optional Drip Content addon can release protected material according to a schedule based on the member’s joining date.

This can be used for:

• Online course lessons
• Coaching programmes
• Weekly training material
• Member onboarding
• Premium article series
• Scheduled resources

Drip Content is an addon and should only be advertised as included when its files are provided in the Genius WP package.

Group Memberships

The optional Group Accounts addon allows one customer to purchase and manage access for multiple members.

A group owner can invite, remove and manage members while billing remains attached to the main group account. This can be useful for companies, teams, schools, associations and family memberships.

Email-Marketing Integrations

Professional addons are documented for email-marketing platforms including:

• Mailchimp
• AWeber
• ConvertKit
• ActiveCampaign
• Campaign Monitor
• MailPoet

These integrations may assign customers to lists, groups, forms or tags according to their membership level. External service accounts and subscriptions are not included with the plugin files.

• Drip Content
