Managing Content Restriction Design

Introduction​

With your membership plan in place, the next step is to customize how restricted content appears. This ensures a consistent experience for members and non-members. Configure these options in Divi Membership → Settings → Content Restriction.

Access Content Restriction Settings​

  1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to Divi Membership → Settings.
  2. Open the Content Restriction section to access settings for content visibility and restrictions.

Understand the Settings​

Content restriction behaviour depends on whether you use the Theme Builder or the default template. You can show a plain text message, a Divi layout from the library, or delegate to Conditions defined on modules in your layout. For module conditions, see Module conditions.

Single Post Page (Theme Builder)​

For layouts built in the Divi Theme Builder:

  • Choose whether to show or hide post title and post content for restricted posts.
  • Choose how restricted content is represented: plain text message, Divi layout from the library, or module conditions.

Single Post Page (Default Template)​

For posts using Divi's default post layout:

  • Adjust settings to control how restricted content is displayed when no custom Theme Builder design is applied.

Archive Page / Loop Settings​

For archive pages or modules (e.g. Blog module) that display multiple posts:

  • Set how restricted content appears inside archives or loops.
  • Options are similar to single post pages for consistent behaviour across the site.

Additional Tips​

  1. Clear communication — Ensure messages for restricted content explain why access is limited and how to gain access.
  2. Consistent branding — Use Divi layouts that match your site’s branding for restricted content messages.
  3. Test user experiences — Regularly test different access scenarios so members and non-members see the right content.
tip

Always save your settings before moving to the next configuration step to avoid losing changes.
