Gated Content Block (Pro)

Secure, Server-Side Content Gating for WordPress

Control exactly who can see your content, directly in the block editor, with a flexible gating system designed for real-world sites.

The CrispyCohd Gated Content Block Pro prevents restricted content from being rendered at all – no shortcodes, no hacks, no fragile front-end scripts.

Works with Lite: seamless upgrade, no content migration required.

Why WP Gated Content Block Pro?

Most “content restriction” plugins rely on CSS or JavaScript to hide content after it’s already been sent to the browser.

This plugin doesn’t. Restricted content is stopped server-side, so it never reaches the front end when access conditions aren’t met.

  • Better security
  • Cleaner markup
  • No SEO penalties from “hidden” content
  • No accidental leaks via view-source

Flexible, Block-Based Gated Layouts

The CrispyCphd Gated Content Block works seamlessly with any core or custom WordPress block, giving you full freedom to design gated sections that suit your content and audience.

Because the gate acts as a structural control point rather than a rigid wrapper, you can combine familiar blocks such as Columns, Groups, Buttons, or even the WordPress Login block to build clear, styled calls-to-action for restricted content. This makes it easy to create polished, conversion-focused gated layouts.

Need a custom login prompt? Using the block editor alone, without shortcodes, custom templates, or additional plugins, you can build it.

Customise the block using core or custom blocks to fit your needs…
