Product Description
Restrict Content Pro Restrict Past Content is an add-on that extends membership access control to include publication date restrictions. By default, members gain access to all restricted content when they subscribe, but this add-on lets you limit access to content published only during their active membership period.
Access Control Features
- Restrict access to content published before member join date
- Configure per-subscription-level access rules
- Set grace periods for historical content access
- Override settings for specific posts or pages
- Flexible date-based content gating
Membership Value Management
By controlling historical content access, you can encourage longer membership retention and make back-catalog content an additional benefit tier. Members who maintain their subscription over time naturally accumulate more accessible content.
Content Drip Enhancement
Combined with content dripping features, past content restriction creates a structured content delivery system. New members start with fresh content and gradually gain access to your archive based on their subscription duration.
