MemberPress WPBakery Content Protection 1.0.4
Wordpress Plugins Memberpress 4.8 (4.5K reviews)
MemberPress WPBakery Content Protection is a WordPress add-on that connects two established plugins: MemberPress for membership management and WPBakery Page Builder for visual site design. Once installed, it adds content restriction controls directly inside the WPBakery editor, so site owners can decide what visitors see without writing code or hunting through separate settings pages. The plugin requires both MemberPress and WPBakery Page Builder to be active, since it builds on their existing functionality rather than replacing either one. Content can be gated during the normal page-building workflow, right alongside design choices about layout, colors, and modules. For anyone already running a membership site with those tools, the add-on fills a practical gap: it brings access control into the same visual interface used to build pages, so no separate configuration screen is needed for basic protection. This approach suits site owners who prefer visual tools over shortcodes and custom code.

The protection options appear on every page, post, and custom post type edited through WPBakery. Site owners can lock an entire page, or narrow the gate to a specific row, column, or individual element such as an image, button, or text block. That granularity makes tiered content possible within a single page: one section might be visible to all visitors, while a second section shows only to a particular membership level. Restrictions are set against MemberPress membership levels, and the same controls support user roles and individual user accounts as alternatives. When someone without access lands on protected content, the plugin displays a customizable access message instead, which can be tailored to encourage upgrades or explain subscription options. The actual content stays hidden from non-members on the frontend, so the restriction is enforced at the display level rather than simply being a visual hint. Administrators can still see protected items during editing, which keeps previewing and maintenance straightforward.
The add-on is built for sites that already rely on MemberPress and WPBakery, and it shows up where those two meet. Course creators can protect individual lessons, entire modules, or full courses, releasing them according to membership level. Publishers can gate premium articles, guides, or interviews behind a subscription. Operators of membership portals can create separate areas for different tiers, and digital product sellers can restrict downloads to paying customers. Protecting content at the element level is what makes most of this possible, since a single page can mix free and paid sections in any arrangement. The plugin also includes shortcode-based protection for more advanced scenarios, and it works with WPBakery's frontend editor, so restrictions update as pages are edited. The visual settings appear in the same element panels where styling is configured, which keeps the learning curve low for anyone already comfortable with WPBakery. There is no need to learn a separate rule system or remember which page contains which restriction.
On the technical side, the plugin is a straightforward WordPress installation: download the file, upload it through the Plugins screen, and activate it. It requires WordPress 5.0 or newer and PHP 7.0 or newer, with both MemberPress and WPBakery Page Builder active. The add-on has been updated over time to track new WPBakery releases, and recent versions added protections for nested rows and columns, refined how custom access messages display, and improved performance on sites with many protected pages. Administrators have the option to bypass frontend protection entirely, which is useful when reviewing content before publishing. Protected material renders responsively across screen sizes, and translation files are maintained for multilingual sites. Error logging is included for troubleshooting. The overall design keeps content gating tied to the two plugins site owners already use, rather than introducing a separate access-control dashboard. That integration is the core value: existing MemberPress rules stay authoritative, and WPBakery remains the place where pages are constructed and protected.
