What it does
Membership sites often need access that lasts for a set period: a limited-time promotion, a course module that should only stay open for a few weeks, or special content meant to expire. Handling that manually means tracking dates and revoking access yourself, which takes time and leaves room for mistakes. This extension handles the expiration for you, so each user keeps access only for the window you define.
It works inside your existing Restrict Content Pro setup, so you manage timeouts alongside the restrictions you already use. You can set different durations for different membership tiers, content types or offers, and define rules for when and how access ends. Users can also be notified about upcoming expirations, which gives members a clear picture of how long they have and a reason to renew or upgrade before access lapses.
Best for
- Membership sites running Restrict Content Pro
- Course creators offering time-limited modules
- Site owners running limited-time content promotions
Features
Automatic access expiration
Set time-based restrictions that revoke a user's access to restricted content automatically once the defined period has passed.
Flexible time limits
Choose restriction durations to match different membership tiers, content types or promotional offers on the same site.
Works within Restrict Content Pro
The add-on runs inside the Restrict Content Pro framework, so timeouts sit alongside your existing content restrictions and membership settings.
Rules for user privileges
Define specific rules for when and how content access expires, giving you finer control over how each membership behaves over time.
Less manual admin work
Timeout enforcement happens automatically, so you no longer need to track access dates or remove privileges for each user yourself.
Expiration notifications
Inform users about upcoming expirations so members know when their access will end and can decide whether to renew.
