Pages by User Role for WordPress 1.7.2.101119

Pages by User Role for WordPress is a WordPress plugin that gives you fine-grained control over what content different users can see. It helps you hide specific Pages, Posts, or Categories from navigation menus based on the user’s role.

By restricting visibility according to Role, the plugin supports cleaner site navigation and a more tailored user experience. It’s especially useful for developers and web designers building client websites with varied audiences, where some content should not be discoverable by everyone.

Instead of relying on broad settings, you can define access rules that reflect real site structure and user responsibilities, improving clarity for visitors while strengthening content governance.

Main Features

• Role-based visibility control — Show or hide Pages, Posts, and Categories according to the current user role.

• Granular targeting — Apply rules at the content level (pages/posts) and taxonomy level (categories).
