  • Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce 1.2.4 is in the wild

    Well it’s that time for a new release of Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce and this one shall be called 1.2.4.

    We introduced a bunch of changes around stability and…well stability.

    But wait, that’s not all.

    Remove from Account

    A number of customers reached out and had lots of pages as restricted content. This left the My Account page on WooCommerce with a huge list of pages that just cluttered up the interface.

    With 1.2.4 we’ve added a checkbox to remove a page from the My Account page, much like we already had the option to remove a page/post from the WordPress menu area.

    Shiny new remove from My Account button

     

    Translations in bbPress

    There were also a few users that reached out with issues around our text matching in bbPress for the restricted content messages.

    We added 2 new filters wecr_bbp_forum_message_global and wecr_bbp_topic_message_global that allow users with different translations to filter the incoming and outgoing text here so you don’t have to hack the plugin to get the proper text in your restricted messages.

    That’s it, fire up your updaters and enjoy the day.

  • Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce 1.2.2

    Happy Monday to all.

    We’ve been working hard on the update to Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce.

    Today I introduce a few bug fixes and one new feature for your users.

    Feature

    Previously you were sort of left on your own when it came to showing off your content to your members. Now Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce adds a new item to the WooCommerce ‘My Account’ page.

    This new area shows the user all of the premium content they have access to.

    You can of course still show it in the menu if you want.

    You can go get more details on how Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce will help you easily power a WooCommerce based membership site and purchase it on the product page.

    Now the stuff only developers typically care about.

    Bug Fixes/Updates

    WooCommerce updated how they detect order status a while ago and we’re now compliant with the newest methods.

    We had a bug in the display of multiple product restriction which was introduced in 1.2.1 where some users didn’t see the option to restrict by more than one product. That bug is now resolved.

  • Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce 1.2.1

    Well Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce 1.2.1 is now out in the wild and it has a fix and a new requested feature.

    The Fix

    It seems that 1.2 gave you the wrong link by default when you restricted your post/page/forum by a variable subscription product. I tried to link to the individual variation instead of the product that held the variations.

    Now it links to the product properly.

    The Feature

    As of version 1.2.1 you can now restrict content by multiple products. So that means if you were selling an eBook and had a page that was for purchasers only you can assign that eBook as a product on your page.

    Then you could assign a subscription that was intended for users to access all your books as they come out.

    Now a user that had purchased either the subscription, or the single purchase book could see the content.

  • Announcing Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce

    Way back when I release my business book I needed to restrict content to users that had purchased the video package.

    At the time there was nothing and I had to resort to custom code. While there is one option now, it’s not simple in any fashion.

    I don’t know about you, but I like simple so I went out and built a simple way to restrict posts/pages or bbPress forums to users that have purchased a product.

    Thus I announce with much fanfare Easy Restricted Content for WooCommerce.

    Check out the video below to see how it works and head over to the product page to purchase.
