Tweet  Are you a WordPress developer or a Web Designer who uses WordPress to develop websites for your clients? Or are you a novice WordPress user?

Have you ever wanted not to show Pages or Categories in the menu? Or wanted to restrict access to certain content on your website? With Pages by User Role you can add Access Control to the following things in WordPress based on which Role the user has.

• Pages
• Posts
• Custom Post Types (enable on which Custom Post Types you want Access Control to be available)
• Categories
• Custom Dashboard Metaboxes (created with White Label Branding)
• Tooltips  (created with SWS CSS Tooltips or Automatic CSS Tooltips)

We have made this very easy with Pages by User Roles for WordPress.

The plugin also removes the Page, Post, Custom Post Type or Categories from search results and blog roll. You can hide Page and Categories from the menu when the user is not logged in. You can also set a specific redirect URL for users that don’t have the required User Role.

It also works if you are using the custom menu feature built into WordPress 3.0. It will hide the menu items that has assigned a user Role when the user is not logged in.

* Updated Options Panel updated
* New Feature: No access behavior customization. Admin can specify if a restricted page should
  redirect to login or to redirect URL.
* New Feature: Custom Post Types by User Role. This only shows if there are custom post types.
  This is a mini-plugin itself that adds the following functionality:
  In the tab option it shows a list of custom post types, and checkboxes of all the existing
  user roles for each custom post type. By checking a user role for a custom post type you are
  restricting admin access to that post type only to the checked user role.

VERY IMPORTANT: Always check the Administrator. Note we do not do it by default, thus maybe
the Administrator changed the the administrator user role, so we don't really know what the
administrator role is.

In the case of incorrectly setting the administrator user role, there is an option on the same
tab to disable this feature an recover access to the custom post types.
