 * Hi Joachim, first I want to say, that this is a great plugin.
    I need, though,
   some more documentation on these features:
 * -New User Default Level, no options, where do I set this?
 * -Negate conditions,
 * -Extend,
 * -Unlock Time for new members
    (which sometimes is not a visible option under 
   settings?),
 * -drip content
    (which not appear on my page, like in the screenshots?)
 * ‘Content that meets the following conditions will only be accessible by this 
   level or higher:’
 * -Capabilities, more than this: ‘capabilities work throughout the site (both Admin
   Dashboard and front end).’
 * ‘Content that meets the following conditions will only be accessible by this 
   level or higher:’
 * Comment on this: Subscriber is the default WP user role. This sentence above 
   makes it difficult to make any conditions, which restricts subscribers, as this
   is the lowest WP role?
 * It would be nice with some more boolean options here.
 * Regards
    Carsten

 * Thank you for your kind words. A documentation is much needed and is underway,
   I will try to answer your questions here.
 * **New User Default Level, no options, where do I set this?**
 * The dropdown will automatically be populated with Access Levels that are not 
   synced with a User Role.
 * **Negate conditions**
 * You can “reverse” conditions so that all content but the selected will be restricted.
   E.g. if you select the 404 Page and negate the condition, it means that all content
   but the 404 Page is restricted to that Level.
 * **Extend**
    **Content that meets the following conditions will only be accessible
   by this level or higher:**
 * Access Levels are hierarchical. If you make Level B extend Level A, members of
   Level B will automatically get access to all content restricted in Level A.
 * **Unlock Time for new members**
    **drip content**
 * Unlock time and drip content is the same. It means that users should be members
   of a Level for a period of time before they get access to some restricted content.
 * Could you show me a screenshot of when it’s not visible?
 * **Capabilities, more than this: capabilities work throughout the site (both Admin
   Dashboard and front end).**
 * You can permit/deny specific capabilities for Access Levels. This means that 
   members of that level e.g. can get elevated privileges in other plugins. A user
   has used it for Gravity Forms here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-gravityforms-edit/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-gravityforms-edit/)
 * **Comment on this: Subscriber is the default WP user role. This sentence above
   makes it difficult to make any conditions, which restricts subscribers, as this
   is the lowest WP role?**
 * The Settings page in general need an overhaul. However, it does not matter what
   the default user role is. If you add a new Level and sync it with the Subscriber
   role, then you effectively control the access for all users with that role. Restrict
   User Access will always override the role a user has.
 * While the documentation is not finished yet, you can read more about conditions
   here: [https://dev.institute/docs/restrict-user-access/conditions/](https://dev.institute/docs/restrict-user-access/conditions/)
 * I hope this helps!

 * Hi Joachim, thanks for the clarification of the different features.
 * Using restrictions with both user roles and users levels in various combinations,
   together with the extend feature, gives a lot of possibilities, but is also, 
   for me at least, difficult to distinguish between, which takes a very educational
   approach i the documentation!
 * **‘Unlock time and drip content is the same. It means that users should be members
   of a Level for a period of time before they get access to some restricted content.’**
 * Is it possible to have this feature work the other way around, as it is, with
   Negate conditions?, like a free trial period, where content is open for a period
   of time, and hereafter restricted?
 * Regards
    Carsten

 * That is a good idea, but unfortunately not supported at the moment. I have noted
   it down so you might see it in a future release!

 * I am looking forward following the development of this plugin. Another restriction
   suggestion which came to mind today was regarding ads, showing of hiding ads 
   at different user role levels. I can see a challenge in how to restrict or allow
   certain widgets containing Adsense code, but that can be solved.

 * You should look at Content Aware Sidebars, as that allows you to show/hide widget
   areas for specific Levels: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/)

 * Thanks for the tip, I just realized you did that plugin as well 😉
