Overview

About this plugin

Permarix Content Access Manager gives WordPress site owners a practical way to control access to content without replacing WordPress’s normal user and authentication system. Create access rules, choose which roles are allowed to view protected content, decide what visitors see when access is denied, and customize the forms shown inside the locked-content experience.

Key features:

  • Role-based content protection – restrict posts and pages to logged-in users with the roles you choose.
  • Reusable access rules – create rules for protected content and define the behavior for visitors who do not have access.
  • Flexible denied-access behavior – show a custom message or redirect visitors to another URL.
  • Moderated registration – optionally hold new registrations for administrator approval before users can access protected content.
  • Login, Register, and Forgot Password forms – give visitors the appropriate account actions directly from the locked-content card.
  • Custom registration fields – configure the account information collected during registration and customize field labels and messages.
  • Custom roles – create and use additional roles when the standard WordPress roles are not enough for your access model.
  • Locked-content defaults – configure core locked-content behavior from Permarix settings. Advanced visual styling is provided by Permarix Pro.
  • Locked-content shortcode – explicitly place protected content areas where you need them. The Gutenberg Locked Content block and page-builder integrations are Pro features.
  • Login protection – built-in throttling helps reduce repeated login and password-reset attempts.

Permarix is focused on content access: it works with WordPress users and roles and adds a configurable layer for deciding who can see protected content and what experience other visitors receive.

The optional Permarix Pro add-on provides the visual editor, Gutenberg Locked Content block, page-builder integrations, per-content layout controls, advanced role management, notification features, and additional integrations.

How content protection works

Create an access rule, select the roles that are allowed to view the protected content, and choose what should happen when someone does not meet the requirement. Depending on your configuration, Permarix can display a custom access-denied message or redirect the visitor.

You can use reusable rules for broader protection; advanced per-post controls are available in Permarix Pro.

Visitor access forms

When a visitor reaches protected content, Permarix can present Login, Register, and Forgot Password tabs in the locked-content card. You can control which forms are available and customize their labels and messages.

Source Code

The plugin-owned source code is included in the distributed plugin package. No external build step is required to regenerate the plugin-owned assets.

The plugin does not require third-party JavaScript libraries for its admin content search controls; its plugin-owned JavaScript and CSS are shipped in the package.
