Restrict Content Pro bbPress 1.0.2

Restrict Content Pro bbPress extends WordPress and bbPress with content access controls designed for member-only communities. It allows you to limit which bbPress forums and individual topics are visible based on subscription status. This solves a common problem for community sites: ensuring valuable discussions stay behind a paywall or restricted access, not open to every visitor.

By tying bbPress visibility to paid subscribers and specific access rights, the plugin creates a clear experience for members while protecting premium forum areas. If you already use a subscription setup in your WordPress site, this plugin helps you apply consistent access rules inside your bbPress forums.

Main Features

• Forum access restriction — Limit bbPress forums so only paid subscribers (or authorized members) can view them.
• Topic access restriction — Restrict individual bbPress topics to subscribers with the right access.
• Paid subscriber gating — Base visibility on paid subscription status to keep non-paying visitors out of restricted areas.
• Specific access rights support — Enable access rules for subscribers with particular permissions, not just “subscriber vs. not.”
• bbPress-friendly implementation — Adds support for controlling bbPress forums and topics without rebuilding your forum structure.
• Simplified configuration — Makes it straightforward to set up members-only forums using clear access rules.
• Consistent member experience — Helps ensure users see relevant, authorized forum content throughout the bbPress experience.

Benefits

• Stronger monetization — Turn forum areas into revenue-driving member perks.
• Improved UX for members — Provide a cleaner experience by showing users only the content they’re allowed to access.
• Better community control — Reduce unwanted exposure of premium discussions to non-paying visitors.
• Targeted access — Offer different levels of value by using specific access rights for different members.
• Smoother integration — Apply subscription-based rules inside bbPress to keep your site’s access logic consistent.
