How To Restrict Access To Partial Content In Divi

Conditionally restrict access to specific sections of your page using the Divi Visual Builder. Designed with 100% live builder compatibility, the Divi Content Restrictor plugin applies visibility rules directly to Divi Sections (Regular, Fullwidth, and Specialty).

Restricting content within the Divi Visual Builder is fast, flexible, and completely visual.

Key benefits of partial content restriction include:

• Displaying premium content exclusively to logged-in users.
• Tailoring personalized content based on membership levels or user roles.
• Protecting paid digital assets and member-only resources.
• Preventing search engine bots from indexing private section content.
• Driving lead generation by unlocking content in exchange for user email signups.

You can restrict access by login status and user roles natively—without requiring external plugin dependencies.
