Description
Simple PageAccess is probably the smallest, most powerful access control plugin you’ll ever install.
In under 100 lines of code, it gives you role-based control over who can view each page — without cluttering your dashboard or slowing down your site.
- Adds a “Only Allow Logged In Users” checkbox to each page
- Dynamically show checkboxes for each user role via clean in-editor UI
- Restrict access with zero configuration, straight from the page editor
- Display a centered heading message: “You are not allowed to view this page!” for unauthorized users
- No separate settings page, no database bloat — just smart, surgical code
Perfect for membership sites, private client pages, internal portals, or any time you want fast, targeted access control.
