The General Settings in Kadence RCP (Restrict Content Pro) serve as the foundational configuration hub for your membership site. From this interface, you define the core behaviors of your subscription platform—ranging from essential page assignments to global content protection rules. By carefully adjusting these settings, you ensure that your site provides a professional and intuitive experience for both prospective and existing members, setting the stage for successful recurring revenue.

The settings are divided into several key categories to streamline management:

Misc Settings: Fine-tune advanced behaviors, such as “Hide Premium Posts,” which removes paid content from public search results and blog feeds to create a truly exclusive experience.

General Tab: This is where you assign critical pages (like registration and login), activate multiple memberships, and configure auto-renewal behaviors and site-wide restricted content messages.

Email & Invoices: Professionalize your communication by customizing email notifications for signups and renewals. You can also configure invoice settings, including adding your business logo and address for member downloads.

Discounts & Marketing: Boost conversions by setting up discount codes for new registrations. You can create one-time use codes or recurring discounts and even include codes directly in registration URLs to simplify the checkout process.
