PrivateContent
Multilevel Content Plugin
WordPress multilevel contents for free!
Finally a free first step into the best WordPress membership suite, since 2012: you can now take advantage of essential PrivateContent systems without any charge!
Why choose this plugin? PrivateContent uses a standalone database: quicker than the normal WordPress users one and not limited by the bulky roles assignments.
To have a multi-level users database will be easy and fast, keeping your users out of the WordPress backend while creating a modern and optimized users management area in the backend.
No forced pages, no forced URLs: the plugin is designed to seamlessly work and integrate into any website.
Gives also the ability to deactivate users, keeping them in the database but deactivating accesses to restricted areas.
Finally, the import/export hub: move users through PrivateContent websites, export user lists in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format, import them using a CSV file or also import existing WordPress users!
The best restriction engine on the market
As its name suggestes, PrivateContent is the first pick when it comes to protect your website contents. This free version only includes the redirect restriction engine: but it is also the most powerful one!
Restricted contents will be totally removed from the website: no one, neither search engines, will be able to reach or search it unless it has the right clearance!
PrivateContent is the #1 also on restrictions management side: through inheritance and restrictions wizard will just take few clicks to protect entire areas of your website, always knowing who can access your pages!
Users reserved page
Each PrivateContent user has got by default an own reserved page, reachable only by him. It has got a unique URL making it really comfortable to insert it in your website structure.
A single page URL serving different contents: they will be changed depending on the logged user
This is an essential tool to privately communicate with subscribers and, obviously, you can also decide to disable it.
Check it or watch the screencast to see better understand how easy and effective it is.
Live restrictions preview
In the visual builders era, to have a valid preview system is a must. It doesn’t only save you time building complex pages but also gives you a real-world feedback!
Why wondering how front pages look like while you can preview them like a true logged user in a couple of clicks?
Choose how to preview your website directly interacting with the WordPress topbar. There’s nothing faster and simpler!
Try out a restricted page!
PrivateContent oviously comes with its login form: customizable and ready to be used wherever in your website. Remember: there are no forced pages or structures!
Give a try loggin in:
- Username: test1
- Password: test
Once logged, try to reach this page »
It wasn’t accessible before!
A true form framework
Any membership system requires registration forms. PrivateContent does more, offering one of the most advanced form frameworks on the market!
Free version is limited to one-only registration form, but you can shape it as you prefer:
- Sorting fields
- Adding fields icon and placeholders
- Taking advantage of the HTML5 validation engine
- Inserting contents among fields
- Using a disclaimer for TOS or privacy acceptance
- Setting password strength patterns and lengths
- Taking advantage of honey-pot anti-spam system (reCaptcha on premium version)
- Assigning users to a default category through the form parameter or using the related dropdown field
- Exteding available fields through User Data add-on or API
Extreme flexibility also on the design side: two fully-responsive layouts (one-column and fluid) and no-label + bottom border options.
Give a try:
Want even more?
User Data add-on pushes the framework to the maximum, implementing combo-options and conditional fields!
Message and warning styles
Each website has its own style: modern, classic, minimal or bold.
Everyone deserves a proper design integration.
That’s why PrivateContent comes with six different message/warning styles, catching the best from past and actual web-design standards.
Did you already find the one fitting your website!?
Custom skin builder
Plugin comes with three preset form skins (minimal, light, dark) adapting to any theme, immediately.
You can also customize them, changing only few details. Or maybe you prefer creating your own unique style: using colors, font size and family, setting field borders and padding as well as border radius.
Everything directly from an handy user interface and with few clicks.
Supporting also modern gradients and responsive typography!
For example forms in this website take color scheme from minimal style, with a little touch of green on buttons and icons to match LCweb colors.
The WordPress User Sync
PrivateContent users can also be synced with wordpress users.
What does it means?
A mirror WordPress user will be strictly linked with PrivateContent one: same username, same password, same e-mail.
This turns into a huge advantage: not only users will be able to login through PrivateContent and WordPress forms, but also to use WP-based systems.
Through the sync, third-party forms can be used to register users and edit their data. Everything will be collected and kept under the same interface.
A practical example? Use WooCommerce checkout to create PrivateContent users, not passing through an intermediate registration form!
100% Multilanguage
PrivateContent is also completely translatable as well as its add-ons!
You will be able to localize everything just creating a .po file or using WPML or also Polylang.
Frontend strings have already been translated in 26 languages!
Discover the add-ons
PrivateContent systems are just the beginning: its add-ons unleash the real power of this membership solution.
Pay membership, unlimited fields and data-update forms, e-mail campaigns, a complete restricted files manager.
They are just the flagship features of the plugin add-ons: discover them or get the bundle to have everything!
Dev-oriented API and hooks
PrivateContent is a developer-friendly plugin and has been coded to be easily extended and customized by developers.
Starting from essential plugin’s API to management classes and ending with dozens of actions and filters.
Even performing complex operations could be done in few PHP lines.
