 * It’s amazing what you can accomplish as a develop when you don’t treat your (
   potential) customers shabbily.
 * After having issues and moving on, I was able to get this product working with
   short codes.
 * Hopefully I will be able to get all of this configured in a manner that is conducive
   to my overall plan.

 * Hey [@douggeeks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/douggeeks/) sorry to hear
   you had a bad experience.
 * The free version of WP User Manager does come with content restriction functionality:
 * Restrict content with [shortcodes](https://wpusermanager.com/article/180-content-restrictions-shortcodes/),
   you can:
    - Restrict to logged in users only
    - Restrict to specific users only
    - Restrict specific user roles only
 * The plugin also has block editor support, so you can restrict access to blocks(
   and groups of blocks) in a similar fashion, see [https://wpusermanager.com/news/blocks-wordpress-block-editor/](https://wpusermanager.com/news/blocks-wordpress-block-editor/)

 * You should put some documentation about that somewhere in your software. I might
   not have deleted it.
 * If I cannot find another suitable plugin I may give yours another try. It seems
   rather bloated for my rather simplistic needs.
 * I appreciate the response.

 * FWIW I have Cornerstone, which means I can’t use Gutenburg, so I didn’t see any
   of those prompts.
 * I tried it out again.

 * At the very least, the content that it does share is formatted into a different
   style and color of font. I didn’t play with the codes much, but multiple codes
   in one text element seemed to cause problems.
 * Doesn’t look like this is going to work. Unless you have a solution I’m not seeing?

 * Your second screenshot isn’t the same content and shows Ultimate Member shortcodes,
   different to this plugin.

 * My mistake. I changed the codes, added them to the HTML side of the text element
   in Cornerstone (which is awful, fwiw) and the codes worked immediately with no
   problems.
 * PBKAC the whole time. Go figure.
 * The question is are short codes the only way this plugin can restrict content?
   Any idea if it will work across elements, or if I have to install the code around
   each element (i.e. image/text)?

 * You should be able to wrap as much of the content in a shortcode as possible.
   The [premium addon](https://wpusermanager.com/addons/content-restriction) does
   give you the ability to make whole posts restricted.

 * Glad it’s all sorted so far 🙌
