Content restriction rules for 1 site. Gate pages by login, role, or password to keep private content private.
Content Restrictions
Restrict access to any page or section with a simple rule.
Content Restrictions lets you gate specific pages, posts, or sections by rule, logged-in users only, specific roles, or a password, to protect members-only or internal content. Manage every rule across all your connected sites from one place.
In short
Content Restrictions is a WP Tailwatch feature that restricts access to specific pages, posts, or sections by rule, logged-in users only, specific roles, or a password, to gate members-only or internal content. You manage all of those rules across every connected site from one central place.

What it does
Decide exactly who sees what.Gate pages by login, role, or password.
Not every page should be public. Content Restrictions lets you wrap any page, post, or section in an access rule, so members-only, role-specific, and internal content stays in front of the right people only.
- Restrict pages, posts or sections by rule
- Limit access to logged-in users or specific roles
- Password-protect members-only or internal content
- Manage every rule across all connected sites
How it works
From public to private.Pick the content, set a rule, and it's gated.
Choose any page, post, or section, set who can view it, and WP Tailwatch enforces the rule for every visitor automatically.
1
Pick what to gate
Choose the pages, posts, or sections you want to protect, a members area, a staff handbook, a client proposal, or any content that shouldn't be fully public.
2
Set the rule
Decide who gets in: logged-in users only, specific roles, or a password. The rule is applied so anyone who doesn't qualify simply can't access the content.
3
Manage across sites
Control all your restriction rules from one dashboard and the mobile app, and apply them consistently across every connected WordPress site.
Why it matters
Why access control matters.Private content should never be one URL away.
Controlling who can see what is one of the most important, and most commonly mishandled, parts of web security. Broken access control ranks as the most common web application security risk in the OWASP Top 10, ahead of every other category. Source: OWASP Top 10. When pages that should be private are reachable by anyone with the URL, sensitive content leaks, internal docs, member resources, unpublished material, often without anyone noticing until it's too late.
Content Restrictions makes access control simple and rule-based. You decide who can reach each page, logged-in users, specific roles, or a password, and apply those rules across every site from one place. That is the WP Tailwatch difference: access control built in, instead of one more plugin to bolt on.

FAQ
Content Restrictions questions.Answers on rules, roles, and passwords.
Common questions about restricting access to WordPress pages and sections with WP Tailwatch.
Content Restrictions can gate specific pages, posts, or sections of your WordPress site. You set a rule for each, such as logged-in users only, specific roles, or a password, so only the right people can see members-only, internal, or premium content.
Yes. You can restrict content by role, so a page is visible only to administrators, editors, subscribers, or any custom role you choose. That makes it easy to keep internal documentation or staff-only resources hidden from regular visitors.
Yes. Alongside login and role rules, you can require a password to view a page or section. Password gating is useful when you want to share content with people who don't have an account, like a private proposal or a gated download.
Yes. WP Tailwatch is multi-site by design, so you manage Content Restrictions rules across every connected WordPress site from a single dashboard and the mobile app, instead of configuring access on each site separately.
WordPress only offers a basic per-post password. Content Restrictions adds rule-based access, logged-in users, specific roles, or password, and lets you manage all of those rules across many sites from one place, rather than setting each post individually.
Yes. Controlling who can access which content is a core part of access control, which is the most common web application security risk in the OWASP Top 10. Restricting sensitive pages by rule reduces the chance of content being exposed to people who shouldn't see it.
Yes. Content restriction rules are available on the free Basic plan for one site. Paid Business and Agency plans add full rule management and central control across many sites from one place.
Yes. Content Restrictions is one of the tools that lets WP Tailwatch replace 50+ separate plugins. Instead of installing a standalone restriction plugin on every site, rule-based access control is built into the same platform that handles your security, backups, and monitoring.
