What it does
Membership sites often want to offer a taste of premium material without handing over unlimited access. This add-on handles that by counting views and stopping access once a user reaches the limit you set. It works with the membership levels and subscription setup already configured in Restrict Content Pro, so you build on what you have instead of creating a separate access system for metered content like articles, tutorials or videos.
Limits can be set per content piece or per membership level, which means different groups of members can get different allowances based on their plan. Users receive notifications as they approach or hit their limit, and you can monitor view counts from built-in tracking to see how people use your content. Everything is managed from the WordPress dashboard, and developers can adjust behavior through the included hooks and filters.
Best for
- Membership sites already running Restrict Content Pro
- Publishers offering metered access to premium articles
