… I’m finding the documentation a little sketchy.
Works great for custom user roles and custom post types – absolutely rock solid.
One question, however:
Is there a way to restrict content on the front end globally for a specific post type?
I’m using CPTUI and ACF to create and customise my post types, and was wondering if instead of having to individually check the restrictions on every created post, somehow you could set all posts of that type to automatically be restricted.
I’m asking this because I’m using Formidable Pro to allow users to fill in a form that will allow post creation from the front end, and I want the posts to be automatically restricted.
You follow my meaning?
Keep up the great work, nice lightweight, totally functional plugin.

This is a very nice plugin, simple and easy to use and works very well with the select boxes for restricted content directly on the relevant pages.

Hey, love the plugin works great. Is it possible to restrict URLs maybe in a file or something? I have couple of permalinks I want to restrict.
Thanks and best regards

Sorry to take the time to leave a 1 star review but after trying for a solid 20 mins to get your plugin to restrict public access to pages, i just could not figure out how the hell to do it.
The instructions on the plugin setup page are cryptic, for example:
Select the Post Types that you wish to activate the Public Access meta box on.
(does this mean that the boxes i tick are restricted to public access, or the ones i do not tick are restricted to public access?)
Check the user roles that you do not wish to be available for selection via the Public Access metabox.
(same questions really – do the selected users get restricted or do they get to access the selected/not selected pages as chosen/not chosen above?)
Also, what is Public Access vs Admin Access if both selection lists contain roles requiring log in?
With a little clarity on what the checkboxes do (do they restrict or grant access when selected) this could be a super simple and easy to use plugin, until then though it’s a 1 star wonder.

The fourth plugin I’ve tried for restricting posts and the first that actually worked! A tad confusing (OK, I didn’t read the instructions, but still…) and it lacks an option to restrict by category (guess I’ll have to write my own), but it’s much simpler and nicer to work with than S2.

What I’m doing wrong?

I was looking for a lightweight plugin that works with the built-in wordpress user roles to restrict content to the public, rather than having to create all sorts of new memberships and fancy stuff like other plugins offer.
This plugin does exactly that and does it easily and swiftly!!
Just one side comment. It appears that the “Hide restricted public content from menus” option is always on independently of the settings set in the page metabox provided by the plugin.. This means that the menu always remains hidden. OK, there is an easy workaround for this by just making a custom link to the page from the WP menu…

I’m sorry to one-star rate this plugin but I envountered several problems while testing it.
* It’s copy is unclear, leaving the average user uncertain about how to correctly set it up (I’m developer working with WordPress every day and I didn’t get it)
* It caused an infinite loop on a page I tried to resctrict on the frontend (althought I was logged in)
* It reset the Restriction Message I entered
* It throws Nonce errors (probably) on the settings page and even on the page I wanted to restrict
sadly I don’t have time to create support issue for every point mentioned above but for me this plugin needs several tests and bugfixes.
Thanks.

Plugin works as intended, including custom roles that were added.

When I have activated this plugin, all pages are blank in the visual editing interface, and only the text editing interface exposes the page content for editing.

This is a very good plugin, and has saved good amount of time and also helps in keeping content selectively restricted.
