The Content Restriction Block allows you to control who can view specific parts of a page or post. You can allow or restrict visibility based on login status, user roles, and membership plans. This block works like any other Gutenberg block and gives you flexible, block-level content control.

When to Use This Block #

Use the Content Restriction Block when you want to show or hide only a portion of your page content without applying site-wide restrictions.
Common use cases include:

• Showing exclusive content to logged-in users
• Hiding premium content unless a membership is active
• Displaying role-specific instructions or messages

How to Add the Content Restriction Block #

1. Go to your Page or Post Editor in WordPress.
2. Click the “+” button at the top-left corner of the editor.
3. Search for Content Restriction in the block list.
4. Click to insert the block into your page or post.
5. Once added, place any blocks inside it.

Everything inside this block will follow the restriction rules you configure.

Content Restriction Block Settings #

1. Select Access Control #

You can choose between two modes:

• Access – Define who can see the content.
• Restrict – Define who cannot see the content.

2. Allow Access To / Restrict Access To #

The dropdown options will depend on your Access Mode:

• Allow Access To: (when using the Access mode)
  Choose specific users who are allowed to view the content.
• Restrict Access To: (when using the Restrict mode)
  Choose specific users who are restricted from viewing the content.

Both controls allow you to target:

• Logged-in users
• Logged-out users
• User roles
• Guest Users
• Membership plans

3. Custom Restriction Message #

If a user does not meet the access criteria, the block will show a message.

You can choose between:

• Global Message
  Uses your site-wide restriction message (recommended for consistency).
• Custom Message
  Create a message specifically for this block.
  Useful for premium content, CTA upsell, or plan upgrade prompts.
