Restrict – membership, site, content and user access restrictions for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   War so la la als kostenloses Plugin. Für Updates, auch Sicherheitsupdates, wollen sie dich zu einem Pro-Abo zwingen. Deinstalliert. This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by palatin8.

   I created my own member area dashboard because I needed it to be customized and not membership-based! this useful plugin totally solved my issue of restricting content to logged-in users only. it works perfectly with the most recent update – but would love to have the ” compatible with your version ” stamp for peace of mind 🙂 please update it – it’s great !!!!

   El plugin restricted-content-pro-latest es bueno porque puedo restringir contenido por 24 horas, el problema es que con elementor no funciona, y el que es para elementor no me permite restringir cosas por tiempo limitado
