Limit Post Views .6 is a metered access extension that allows site owners to limit the number of times visitors and members can view protected posts. This plugin is inspired by major publications like The New York Times and Harvard Business Review to nudge casual readers toward paid subscriptions. It provides a strategic bridge between free content and locked premium memberships.
WPExclusive members get access to Limit Post Views as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Paid Memberships Pro collection →
What Is Limit Post Views .6?
Limit Post Views .6 is developed by Paid Memberships Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content restriction and monetization. The plugin specifically handles metered paywalls, allowing users to consume a set amount of content before they are prompted to register.
It solves the problem of “all or nothing” content protection by letting visitors sample premium articles. This approach is ideal for news outlets, magazines, and technical blogs looking to increase conversion rates through gentle reminders rather than hard blocks.
Limit Post Views .6 Features
The feature set is built around providing flexible metered access while maintaining search engine visibility.
Metered Content Control
The plugin sets a cookie for each visitor to track their individual view counts across your site. You can define specific view limits for non-members as well as logged-in members who may be trying to access content outside their current tier. This granular control ensures that your most valuable assets remain protected while still enticing new signups through the membership workflow.
Customizable Viewing Terms
Limit Post Views allows you to set the specific duration for these access limits. You can configure the “term” for viewing limits to reset per hour, day, week, or month. Once a user reaches their allocated threshold, the plugin triggers an instant redirect to a designated page, which is typically your Membership Levels or registration page.
SEO and Bot Accessibility
One of the primary advantages of this plugin is its effect on SEO. By setting the non-member post view limit to at least 1, search engine bots can successfully crawl and index your premium content. This ensures your site maintains high search rankings while still requiring human readers to eventually pay for continued access.

Use Cases
Digital Magazines and News Portals
Publishers can mimic the New York Times model by giving readers 3-5 free articles per month. This uses the membership model to build an audience before asking for a financial commitment.
Tiered Content Up-selling
You can allow Bronze members to view a limited number of Gold-level posts each month. This functions as a built-in “taster” for higher-tier content, encouraging existing members to upgrade their plans.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Developers working on various publication sites can deploy this solution across multiple client domains without purchasing separate individual licenses for every project. A WPExclusive membership makes scaling these metered paywalls cost-effective across an entire client portfolio.
