Review your options for restricting content

The Memberful WordPress plugin offers several ways to restrict access:

• Restrict a single WordPress post or page.
• Restrict by category or tag.
• Restrict using our shortcodes.
• Restrict using our WordPress functions (developer feature).
• Bulk restrict access (covered in this guide).
