Access Areas for WordPress

View on WordPress

WP Access Areas lets you fine-tune who may read, edit or comment on your Blog posts.
You can either restrict access to logged-in uses only, certain WordPress-Roles or even custom Access Areas.

Features

  • Define custom Access Areas and assign them to your blog-users
  • Restrict reading, editing and commenting permission to logged-in users, certain WordPress-Roles or Access Areas
  • define global access areas on a network
  • Supports bulk editing
  • German, Italian, Polish and Swedish localization (Huge Thankyou @ all translators!)

Known Issues

  • WordPress calendar Widget still shows dates where restricted posts have been created.
    When clicked on such a date a 404 will occur. There is an open WordPress Core ticket on that issue.
  • Taxonomy menus (e.g. Tags / Categories) also count restricted posts when the total number of posts in a taxonomy is ascertained.
    See this post for details.
