Unlike plugins that rely on JavaScript or CSS to hide content after it has already loaded, this plugin applies **true server-side content gating**, ensuring restricted content is not rendered into the front-end HTML output unless access conditions are met. The gate block acts as a **structural control point** within your content: – If the visitor meets the access condition, the gate is hidden and content continues rendering normally. – If the visitor does not meet the condition, the gate message is displayed and all content after it is hidden. This approach is predictable, secure, and fully compatible with caching, SEO, and modern WordPress themes. #### Flexible, Block-Based Gated Layouts CrispyCohd 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 marker rather than a rigid wrapper, you can combine familiar blocks such as **Columns, Groups, Buttons, or even the WordPress Login block** to create clear, styled calls-to-action for restricted content. This makes it easy to build polished, conversion-focused gated layouts using the block editor alone, without shortcodes, custom templates, or additional plugins. #### Upgrade to Pro The free version is ideal for simple login-based content restrictions. The **Pro version** adds advanced gating options, including: – User roles (including custom roles) – WooCommerce product ownership – WooCommerce subscriptions – User meta conditions – Advanced visual controls and fade effects – Full REST API gating for complete lock-down of content Existing content created with the free version remains fully compatible when upgrading.

Restricted content is not rendered into the front-end HTML output unless access conditions are met.

The Pro version is fully backward compatible with content created using the free version. ### Does this work with caching plugins? Yes. Because gating happens on the server, it works correctly with page caching and CDNs. ### Can I design my own gated layouts? Yes. You can use any core or custom block inside the gated section to design your own layouts and calls-to-action. ### Where can I find the source code for the block assets? This plugin includes all human-readable source files used to generate the bundled JavaScript and CSS assets. Build tooling and instructions are included for transparency and compliance with WordPress.org guidelines.
