FAQ

WordPress access control questions

Is there a free version?

Yes. Everything on this page is in the free plugin.

Can blocked users still see the website?

No. A blocked user sees your blocked message on every page and cannot log in.

What happens to page-restricted users?

They can use the rest of the site, but see your restricted message on the pages you chose.

Can I restrict the WordPress admin by role?

Yes. Admin Area Access rules hide chosen admin screens from roles or users, or grant only the ones you pick. Super admins are always exempt.

Can users ask to be unblocked?

Yes. Turn on review requests in Settings and blocked users can submit one for you to approve or deny.

Can I send notifications to specific users?

Yes. Send to all users or pick specific ones, and repeat a notification if needed.
