At the same time you might have paid membership as well and only allow certain content visible to the paying members. Simple Membership plugin has this covered for you. The instructions below will guide and help you achieve the content protection level you want for your site.

Step 2 ) The following image shows you the options you can enable to control the content for each membership level created. In this example there are three membership levels Free, Silver and Gold.
