ContentGate is a WordPress content restriction and access control tool. It is built for site owners who want to choose who can see pages, posts, or an entire site, using rules based on login status, user role, registration date, and related conditions.
The product includes a visual rule builder for creating restrictions without code. Examples shown on the page include hiding a page when a visitor is logged out, targeting specific WordPress roles such as Contributors, Editors, and Admins, and supporting custom roles that have been created in WordPress. Rules can be turned on or off instantly, and restrictions can be tested in real time without touching theme files or functions.php. It also provides a fully editable message for visitors who do not have access. ContentGate can restrict a single page, selected posts, or the whole site behind one access rule.
ContentGate is described as native to WordPress and aimed at WordPress users rather than developers. The page says it can be downloaded and activated from the WordPress plugin directory, and that setup takes about two minutes with no setup wizard, no shortcodes, and no PHP needed. It is presented as a plugin for private pages, member content, exclusive sites, online courses, and private forums.
A free version is offered, and the page’s calls to action indicate that the product is available at no cost.
In the Security & compliance platforms space, ContentGate takes a focused approach. It allows WordPress site owners to control access to content based on user roles and login status without coding. ContentGate is a B2B2C product aimed at wordPress administrators and membership site owners. There is a free tier, and paid plans start at $19. It runs on the web.
ContentGate first shipped in 2026. Key capabilities include content restriction, role-based access, and rule builder.
