WordPress Restricted Site Access (SAR) - How To - Restrict Content For X Days After Registration

Restricting Content For X Days After Registration

What is This Feature

It's possible to prevent newly-registered users from accessing certain content for a set amount of days. You can also choose which page the user will be redirected to. This feature was added in version 1.4.1 of the WordPress Restricted Site Access plugin.

Example: a user registers with a free account in a gaming site and can only access the forum page after 7 days. If he accesses the link before, he's directed to the homepage.

1) Time Restriction by Post Type

Head to Admin Dashboard → CM Site Access Restriction Pro → Settings → Post types tab.

Navigation to post types settings - WordPress Restricted Site Access — Navigation to post types settings

For each post type, you can set a number of days of restriction.

In the example below, new accounts can only access posts after 7 days and pages after 14 days.

Restricting access to posts and pages for certain period of time after the user registers - Content Control WordPress — Restricting access to posts and pages for certain period of time after the user registers

If you choose to restrict access by role, you can set the day limit only for those.

TIP

Alternatevely, you can restrict the access since the user first accessed his account instead of his restricting since his registration date:

Restricting access to posts and pages for certain period of time after the user first logs in - Content Control WordPress — Restricting access to posts and pages for certain period of time after the user first logs in

The example shows how to lock Posts for new users with the role "Customer".

2) Time Restriction by Individual Post/Pages

Each post/page receives a metabox where you can set the same options seen above.

This is extremely useful for locking pages with sensitive data.
