Restrict Content Pro – Restrict Past Content

Restrict Past Content is an add-on for Restrict Content Pro that enables membership sites to control access to archived content based on member join dates. Members can only view restricted content published on or after their subscription start date, while content published before they joined remains hidden from their access.

Key Features

• Join Date-Based Access Control - Restricts member visibility of content based on their subscription join date, hiding pre-join content automatically
• Per-Subscription Level Configuration - Allows the feature to be enabled or disabled on individual subscription levels
• Flexible Activation - Can be applied to specific subscription levels or enabled across all subscription tiers
• Content Publishing Date Comparison - Compares content publication dates against member join dates to determine access permissions
• Selective Content Visibility - Members see only restricted content published during their active subscription period
• Archive Content Management - Provides control over which archived or historical content members can access

Best For

This add-on is designed for membership sites that want to limit member access to historical content archives. It works well for subscription-based communities where new members should only access content from their join date forward, such as course platforms offering progressive content, membership communities with rolling enrollment, or sites managing tiered access to content libraries. Organizations can use this to control content visibility and ensure members only see relevant, current content appropriate to their subscription period.
