Limit access to content published before a user’s registration date and protect the value of your membership archive. With Restrict Past Content, only users who were active members when older content was released will be able to view it — unless you choose to make specific posts available.
This extension is ideal for businesses offering time-based or release-driven content, ensuring subscribers stay motivated to join early and maintain their membership to avoid missing out on premium materials.
How It Works
Admins can selectively control older content by assigning post IDs to grant or revoke visibility.
Members who join later will only see material published after their subscription start date, maintaining the exclusivity of previously released resources.
Perfect for recurring content models such as online classes, coaching programs, premium blogs, recipes, or digital learning archives.
Benefits
- Protect the value of exclusive content released before members join
- Drive urgency — encourage users to subscribe early and stay active
- Easily manage which past posts remain restricted
- Ideal for educational, subscription-based, and content-release websites
