What it does
Some forms should not be open to everyone at all times. An event registration may need to close once seats fill up, a promotion may run only for a week, and a members-only request form should stay hidden from visitors who are not logged in with the right role. Without restriction tools, you end up closing forms by hand or sorting through entries that should never have come in. This add-on gives you settings to handle those cases directly on each form.
Because it requires Everest Forms, the restriction options sit alongside your existing form settings, and no coding is needed to configure them. You can limit access by user role, set a maximum submission count, define a date range, and combine these criteria on the same form. When someone hits a restriction, they see a custom message you write, so they know why the form is unavailable. It suits membership sites, event organizers and anyone running time-limited offers.
Best for
- Membership sites with role-specific forms
- Event organizers managing registration windows and capacity
- Sites running limited-time promotions or giveaways
Features
Role-based restrictions
Limit a form to specific user roles so only those users can submit it, which helps keep member or staff forms away from general visitors.
Submission limits
Set a maximum number of submissions for each form, useful for limited offers, giveaways or registrations with a fixed number of spots.
Date-based access control
Schedule a form to be available only within a defined date range, a good fit for campaigns, events and registration periods.
Custom restriction messages
Show your own message when a visitor cannot access a form, so they get a clear explanation instead of a missing form.
Combined restriction rules
Use several criteria together on one form, such as a role requirement plus a submission cap, to match how you want it to behave.
Built into Everest Forms
Restriction settings work within the Everest Forms setup, so you can configure them without writing code or adding other plugins.

Questions about Everest Forms Form Restriction
Do I need Everest Forms to use this?
Yes. This is an add-on for the Everest Forms plugin, so Everest Forms must be active on your site. The restriction options are added to the forms you build there.
Can I close a form automatically after a certain number of entries?
Yes. You can set a maximum submission count for each form. Once that limit is reached, the form stops accepting entries and visitors can see a custom message you have written.
Can I apply more than one restriction to the same form?
Yes. You can combine criteria such as user roles, submission limits and date ranges on a single form, so it is only available when all of your chosen conditions are met.
What do visitors see when a form is restricted?
You can set a custom message that appears when someone is blocked from a form. This lets you explain that registration has closed, that the form is for members only, or anything else that fits.
