Biggest opportunity: “pages”, “pay” and “product” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

3.7%

of downloads still active

At least 700 of 18.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,162 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    This extension is excellent, but its ergonomics are tricky and the design used is out of context with WordPress, resulting in very difficult-to-read texts, that’s not good.

    Excellent and refined plugin that does exactly what it says. Grants permission to a page provided a product assigned to it has been purchased. Exactly what we needed.

    Works perfectly. It was just updated. And it’s free! A+ There are number of paid plug-ins like Pay for Post that do a similar job, although with less functionality. This plug-in is free, contains no ads or bloatware, customizes the customizes My Account page, and does everything I need. Thank you! If I had one suggestion, it would be to allow me to customize the text of the new ‘Restricted Pages’ tab in my account section to something suited to my use car, such as ‘Allowed Pages’ or ‘Your Items’. I can do this myself by modifying the plug-in, which I may mess around with, but would be GREAT to have this as an option in the settings section.

    I discovered this awesome plugin through a YouTube video by Imran, and I’m really glad I did! The ability to restrict pages based on woo product is super useful, especially for managing exclusive content. Big thanks to the developer for creating and maintaining such a useful free plugin! Hoping to see more updates and improvements in the future. Keep up the great work! Tips to Make It Work Properly: ✅ Check Your Shortcode Syntax – If the shortcode isn’t working, the issue might be with the quote formatting. When copying from a webpage, standard quotes (") sometimes get replaced with curly quotes (”), which can cause errors. Just retype the quotes manually to fix it!✅ Clear Your Cache – If restrictions don’t take effect right away, try clearing your cache or excluding restricted pages from caching plugins.✅ Test Using Incognito Mode – This helps confirm if restrictions are working properly when viewed by non-logged-in users.

    The plugin is very promising. I expect great future for it. However, I am facing a bit of quirky behavior, would be great if it can be solved. using wordpress.com, when using this plugin, I notice some strange cache where actions don’t reflect immediately or sometimes don’t reflect at all unless another change happens. For eexample, adding woocommerce product doesn’t show immediately in the list of the products for the plugin, also newly created pages and posts don’t show in the plugin settings’ dropdowns. Also using the inverse block, shows different inconsistent behavior. I ddisabled edge cache of wordpress.com but still the quirky behavior is happening. Would bbe great to have some help on that
