What Is Themify Builder Content Restriction Addon?
Themify Builder Content Restriction Addon is developed by Themify and is a builder plugin extension for WordPress. It belongs to the builder category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for advanced layout customization.
This addon solves the problem of displaying sensitive or exclusive content to specific audiences without creating entirely different pages. It is designed for administrators who need to manage content visibility for subscribers, editors, or custom defined roles within the standard builder interface.
Themify Builder Content Restriction Addon Features
The feature set is built around granular visibility controls that integrate directly into the layout editor.
Role-Based Visibility Control
The addon allows you to choose which user roles have the capability to view specific row or module content. By clicking the visibility settings, you can toggle access for administrators, editors, authors, contributors, or subscribers. This integration is perfect for managing access in a membership ecosystem where content hierarchy is strict.
Row and Module Level Restrictions
Restrictions are not limited to entire pages. You can apply settings to individual rows or specific modules within a layout. This means a public page can have a private row that only logged-in members can see, while keeping the rest of the page visible to guests. Content Restriction applies these rules dynamically as the page renders.
Lightweight Integration
Because it is a modular addon, it only loads the necessary code to handle role checks. This maintains the high-performance standards of the core builder, which is designed to achieve high scores on Google PageSpeed Insights. It extends the core capabilities without adding significant overhead to the frontend experience.
