In today’s digital landscape, personalization is key to creating an engaging user experience. Whether you run an online community, a membership site, or a business platform, controlling content visibility can significantly impact user engagement and security.
With Ultimate Member’s content restriction for Gutenberg blocks, administrators can take full control over who sees what, ensuring a tailored and dynamic browsing experience for users.
Why Content Restriction Matters
Not all content is meant for everyone. Some pages or sections may be reserved for members, premium subscribers, or verified users. Without proper content restriction tools, sensitive information could be exposed, and user engagement could suffer due to a lack of exclusivity.
With Ultimate Member, site owners can control block visibility based on user roles, login status, or verification levels. This means:
✅ Exclusive content for members – Keep premium or community-driven content behind a login wall.
✅ Better user engagement – Encourage users to sign up by offering restricted, high-value content.
✅ Security and privacy – Limit access to sensitive information, ensuring that only verified or authorized users can view it.
How Ultimate Member Elevates Content Control
With the Content Restriction for Gutenberg Blocks feature, administrators can easily customize who can access specific content. This is especially useful for businesses and communities that require granular control over user interactions.
For example:
- Public Blog Posts? Set blocks to be visible to “Everyone” so all visitors can access them.
- Exclusive Offers for Logged-In Users? Restrict content to logged-in members only, ensuring your community gets special perks.
- Premium Member Perks? Limit visibility to specific user roles, such as VIP members or subscribers.
- Verified User-Only Sections? Enable the Verified Users extension to lock certain content for verified accounts only.
Additionally, when Restricted Gutenberg Blocks is enabled, administrators gain access to an extra customization tool: the Restricted Access Block Message. This feature allows them to craft a custom message using the WordPress editor, ensuring users know why they can’t access certain content—and perhaps even encouraging them to sign up!
Beyond Blocks: Restricting Navigation Menus
Content restriction isn’t limited to posts and pages—it extends to navigation menus as well. Whether using a non-block theme (Classic Editor) or a block theme (Gutenberg), Ultimate Member allows administrators to control which menu items users can see.
For example, a membership-based website can:
🔹 Show “Member Dashboard” only to logged-in users.
🔹 Display “Upgrade to Premium” only to non-members.
🔹 Restrict “Admin Panel” to site managers and editors.
With seamless integration into both block and non-block themes, Ultimate Member ensures content remains visible only to the right audience while maintaining a smooth, user-friendly navigation experience.
