Content restriction

Presspoint allows you to restrict access to specific pages based on Smart Lists.

You can restrict access page-by-page, or close access to an entire class of content (then allow per-page exceptions).

Use-cases include registered-only areas, a page of downloads for a specific customer or just locking down to the site to “need to know.”

If a user is not authorized to see the page, then they will also no longer see the page listed in menus. If they use a direct URL, they will be stopped and presented with an optional message

content-restrict-group

You can restrict specific pages or posts with the Content restriction pane on each page.

TIP: Make sure you’re enabled Content restriction or this pane will not be on the page.
