What it does
Many membership sites publish a full library on day one, which gives members little reason to come back. Timed access solves that. With this add-on you pick when a piece of restricted content opens, so a course can roll out lesson by lesson or a members-only offer can appear on a planned date. It works on top of your existing Restrict Content Pro setup, adding another layer of control to the restrictions you already use.
Scheduling happens in a clean dashboard that needs no coding, so non-technical site owners can manage it. You can set different access times for different membership levels or content types, which gives you fine control over who sees what and when. Before content opens, members can see a countdown or a coming soon notice, so they know something is on the way. It suits course creators, publishers and anyone running a subscription site with staged releases.
