What can I do with SimpleRestrict?
SimpleRestrict allows you to restrict access to specific user roles on a page-by-page basis. For unauthorized users, you can set where the page is redirected.
You can also manage who sees what content on a page using the [restrict] shortcode. It takes two attributes: only & except. Each attribute takes a comma separated list of user roles. For example:
[restrict only=”administrator”]My Restricted Content[/restrict] – only the admin will see “My Restricted Content”
[restrict only=”administrator,editor”]My Restricted Content[/restrict] – only the admin and editors will see “My Restricted Content“
[restrict only=”administrator,editor” except=”editor”]My Restricted Content[/restrict] – the only attribute can be overridden by the except attribute (the editor can no longer see the content)
How do I use SimpleRestrict?
- Go to the Edit page for the Page or Post you wish to protect (works for all “public” page/post types).
- On the right sidebar, you’ll see the SimpleRestrict box.
- Check off which roles are allowed to see the page and save. If you want to redirect them to a particular page (eg. login), enter the URL in the Redirect URL field, otherwise it will simply redirect to the home page.
- Alternatively, use the [restrict only=”editor”]This is restricted[/restrict] shortcode.
