Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/role-based-content-restrictor/` or install directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. 2. Activate the plugin from **Plugins > Installed Plugins**. 3. Go to **Settings > Role Restrictions** to configure the default redirect. 4. Edit any page/post and use the **Restrict Access** meta box to choose roles and a redirect page. ## FAQ ### Will it work with custom post types? Yes! The plugin works with all public post types registered in WordPress. ### Can I redirect users to an external URL? Not yet. You can redirect them to a page where you handle the external redirect using a simple script or shortcode. ### Does it support multiple roles per page/post? Yes, you can select multiple roles for each piece of content. ### What happens if no redirect page is set? The plugin will use the global fallback page set in the plugin settings. If that’s not set, users are redirected to the homepage. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/52dc82d18fd1a3558361918578ece28bed19636d62ee417eb4e492684d8dc9e2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Effortless Role-Based Access Control for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/effortless-role-based-access-control-for-wordpress/)󠁿 [ayazfaisal447](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ayazfaisal447/) 20. okt 2025 A lightweight, powerful plugin that makes restricting content by user role easy and seamless.
