    How to restrict content with RCP

    With RCP you can restrict your content in many different ways. Here are some of them based on our preferences.

    Restricting entire postS

    Each post, page, and any custom post type has a meta box with the restriction settings. It contains several settings that allow you to restrict the whole post in various ways.

    Restricting posts by categories

    You can also easily restrict whole categories of posts. Simply go to Categories tab and choose your settings.

     

    Restricting all posts at once

    You can also easily restrict all the post at once. Simply go to Posts -> Restrict Access.

    If you want to find more ways to restrict your content with RCP, you can read the Official RCP’s Restricting content documentation.

    Integration with FV PayPerView

    RCP also intergates very well with our PayPerView paid add-on. With PayPerView, you do not have to worry about the RCP access control for posts. Non-subscribers simply get a preview video with a prompt to join their desired subscription plan in order to watch the full video.

    If you want to find out more about our PayPerView add-on, you can read our PayPerView documentation.
