Restrict WordPress Content and Access with the free Plugin - Content Control

[@pedroluis412]

Hi, Thank you for the tutorial. Why I don't have Widgets control? It's a plugin?.

Widgets and their settings are the native WordPress functionality. You should have them in your dashboard under Appearance> Widgets.

Hi there, is it possible to give a paying customer access to a certain page (content the customer paid for) on the site for a limited amount of time (e.g. 2 weeks)?

[@themerex]

With this plugin, you can have different roles: paying and not paying customers and show/hide some premium pages and premium content. By default, it does not have the time functionality. But this can be achieved by using other plugins, like paid membership pro.

Is this possible to do with a custom post type. So every custom post that is published, I can set the restrictions to a pay to view the custom post type and set a custom price to view that custom post?

[@themerex]

Sure, you can apply custom rules to your custom post type and even set specific restrictions for particular pages and posts. Please check this time code kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-apoWEorZln7c&lc=UgzFlwW97Phu4BQzyod4AaABAg&t=2m39s

So what if I want the widget to be seen by everyone BUT only members can interact with it-click on it? Guests/visitors can see the widget but not interact. For example if they click on the widget a message pops up saying this is locked content. Is that possible to do?

[@themerex]

There is actually a way around it. You just need to create 2 identical widgets: 1 visible for members only and 1 visible for non-members only. Make them visually identical, but provide them with different functions. It should be quite easy to do.

@@themerex Sadly its not easy or else I woould not have asked in forums or FB pages. There has ot be a code that allows me to do that with the same widget.

Hi, is there a way to restrict the AMOUNT/number of files a member can upload at first? So that after purchasing a membership they can upload more? Lets say at first when they sign up they can upload 5 images for their profile section and after purchasing a higher membership level they can upload more? Thank you :)

Hi Stefan, unfortunately, the Content Control plugin does not do that. And that sounds like a custom script you will need to write. It should check the user's uploaded files and allow/disallow to upload more.
