Kadence RCP Content Restriction

Secure your premium content with Kadence RCP. Learn to restrict posts by category, use shortcodes for partial content protection, and set up custom redirects for non-members.

Kadence RCP (Restrict Content Pro) offers a sophisticated suite of content restriction tools that allow you to precisely control who can view the material on your WordPress site. Whether you want to gate an entire library of premium articles or just hide a specific paragraph within a free blog post, these tools provide the flexibility needed to build a successful membership or subscription business. By effectively managing access, you can create exclusive value for your subscribers while encouraging casual visitors to join your community.

The platform supports multiple layers of restriction to fit different workflows. For broad control, you can restrict entire post types, such as all “Lessons” or “Case Studies,” or gate content based on categories, ensuring that any post filed under a specific tag is automatically protected. For more granular control, the [restrict] shortcode allows you to hide specific segments of a page, while individual post and page settings let you define access rules on a case-by-case basis. You can even implement custom redirects to send non-members to a registration page or a “upsell” offer when they attempt to access protected content. These features ensure that your content remains a powerful asset for growing your recurring revenue.
