PrivateContent Free

PrivateContent born in 2012, aiming to be the best solution to restrict your website contents and a different membership platform. Different because it uses a standalone database: quicker than the normal WordPress users one and not limited by the bulky roles assignments. To have a multi-level users database will be easy and fast, keeping your users out of the WordPress backend while creating a modern and optimized users management area in the backend. No forced pages, no forced URLs: the plugin is designed to seamlessly work and integrate into any website. CHECK THE DEMO »
