Product Overview
PrivateContent turns a standard WordPress installation into a full-featured membership and content restriction platform. Whether you’re running a private community, selling gated content, managing a multi-tier subscription site, or simply need to protect sensitive pages from public view, this plugin handles the heavy lifting without requiring a single line of code.
Key Features
- Granular Content Restriction: Lock down any page, post, category, tag, or custom post type. Restrict by user role, membership level, or individual user accounts.
- Multi-Level Access Control: Create unlimited access tiers—free, silver, gold, platinum, or any structure your business model demands. Users see only what their level permits.
- Visual Form Builder: Design custom registration, login, and profile forms with a modern drag-and-drop interface. Match your brand exactly without touching CSS.
- Complete User Management: View, filter, export, and manage users from a centralized dashboard. Bulk actions, role editing, and detailed activity logs included.
- GDPR Compliance Tools: Built-in consent checkboxes, data export requests, right-to-be-forgotten handling, and privacy policy integration.
- Zero-Code Configuration: Every setting lives in the WordPress admin. Install, activate, and configure in minutes.
- Always-Current Documentation: Online knowledge base updated with every release, covering setup, shortcodes, hooks, and common use cases.
Benefits
- Protect Revenue-Generating Content: Gate premium articles, courses, downloads, or forums behind membership tiers that match your pricing strategy.
- Reduce Churn with Smooth Onboarding: Custom registration forms capture exactly the data you need while converting visitors into members.
- Stay Compliant Without Extra Plugins: GDPR features are native, not bolted on—reducing plugin bloat and conflict risk.

Why Choose PrivateContent?
Most content restriction plugins force you to choose between power and usability. PrivateContent delivers both: a restriction engine flexible enough for complex multi-level sites, wrapped in an interface that non-technical users can master in an afternoon. The GDPR toolkit eliminates the need for separate compliance plugins, and the form builder means your registration flows never look like generic WordPress defaults.
