Global Content Restriction
Global Content Restriction is an add-on plugin by Paid Member Subscriptions that lets you set access rules once per subscription plan. Instead of locking posts one at a time, you restrict whole post types, taxonomies and terms so members see only what their plan includes.

What it does
Restricting content post by post gets tedious on a membership site, and it is easy to miss an article or leave a page open by accident. This add-on moves that work to the subscription plan level. You decide which content each plan can reach, and the rules apply across the site based on each user's subscription. It works inside the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin, which it requires, so your plans and content rules are managed in one interface.
Rules can target post types such as Posts, Pages or custom post types, and you can narrow them further by taxonomy and specific terms. That means you could open a single category to one tier while keeping another category for a higher plan. You can add as many rules to a plan as you need, which helps when you run several member tiers. It suits magazines, e-learning sites and other content-driven membership sites.
Best for
- Online magazines with paid subscriber tiers
- E-learning sites selling course access by plan
- Content-heavy membership sites with many posts
Features
Rules per subscription plan
Set content access rules for each membership level that apply across the whole site, without editing individual posts or pages to restrict them.
Post type restrictions
Limit access to entire post types, including standard Posts, Pages and custom post types, so a whole group of content follows the same rule.
Taxonomy and term targeting
Narrow restrictions to specific taxonomies and terms, giving you finer control over particular content areas such as a single category.
Multiple rules for each plan
Add as many restriction rules as you need to a single subscription plan to match access to each of your member tiers.
Works inside Paid Member Subscriptions
Runs as an add-on to the core Paid Member Subscriptions plugin, so plans and content rules are set up and managed in the same interface.
Less manual restriction work
Removes the need to apply repetitive restrictions to each new piece of content, since access follows the plan rules you already defined.
Questions about Global Content Restriction
Do I need Paid Member Subscriptions for this to work?
Yes. This is an add-on for the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin and requires it. The global rules are tied to the subscription plans you create in that plugin and are managed from the same interface.
Can I restrict a single category instead of all posts?
Yes. Besides restricting whole post types, you can refine rules by taxonomy and specific terms. That lets you give one plan access to a particular category or term while keeping other content limited to different plans.
Does it work with custom post types?
It does. Post type restrictions cover standard Posts and Pages as well as custom post types, so content created by other tools that use custom post types can be included in your plan rules.
Can one plan have more than one rule?
Yes. You can add as many content restriction rules as you need per subscription plan, which makes it practical to build different access levels for several member tiers.
Is Global Content Restriction free?
