Resonanz Page & Post Access Restriction

Resonanz Page & Post Access Restriction

0/5 (0 ratings) — active installs Updated Nov 2, 2026

This plugin allows you to limit the access to specific pages and posts to certain user roles only.

Features

  • Toggle protection on or off using a checkbox in the meta box next to the page or post editor.
  • When toggled on, specify which user roles should have access to the page.
  • When toggled on, you can specify to which page users should be redirected if they do not have the necessary permissions.
  • The dropdown list with possible redirect pages does not include the current page or any other protected pages.
  • When no redirect page is selected, users without access will receive a 404 error.

Notes

  • Users can never unselect their own user role when setting permissions.
  • Some default WordPress pages cannot have their permissions changed by this plugin, such as the default Privacy Policy Page.
  • The homepage must always be accessible to everyone.
  • Administrators are always allowed access to any page.
  • Protected pages and posts are also hidden from archives, search results, feeds, sitemaps, widgets, previous and next links, oEmbeds and the REST API for users without access.
  • Subpages are not protected automatically. Enable protection on each subpage that needs it.
  • Files attached to a protected page stay publicly reachable. Use a separate plugin to protect files.
