How to define what parts of your site are hidden

How to define what parts of your site are hidden

— Restricted Content explained.

Restricted Content

There are several options for which content you want to hide on your site. You define it in the ‘Restricted Content’ setting in WooCommerce > Settings > User restrictions (B2B).

Hide your WooCommerce product pages

If you would just like to prevent unauthorised users from accessing product pages, leaving all other WooCommerce pages accessible, then choose ‘All Product Pages’ in the ‘Restricted Content’ setting.

Make your entire WooCommerce store members only

You can hide all your WooCommerce store pages, including product pages, category and tag archives, the shop page, the cart and checkout pages. To do so, set ‘Restricted Content’ to ‘All WooCommerce pages’. This will leave other content on your site viewable but anyone who is not logged in or who doesn’t have the correct password won’t even know you have a store.

Hide WooCommerce categories

If you’d like to restrict access to specific WooCommerce categories, choose ‘Specified Categories’ in ‘Restricted Content’. You’ll get an additional field called ‘Restricted Categories’ where you can enter the names of the categories you’d like to protect.

Protect your entire site

If you would like to password protect your entire site, or require that a user must log in and/or be a certain user role, you can do by setting ‘Restricted Content’ to ‘Entire Site’. This will hide all pages, except the page with your log-in or password form.

Creating passwords to access content

You can enter one or more passwords in the ‘Passwords’ field. Just hit enter between each password so that they appear on a separate line each.

Creating a password form

The easiest way to create a password page and form on the front end is to ensure that you have selected ‘Password’ from ‘Restriction Method’ then click ‘Save changes’. You’ll see a notification to automatically create a page:

Just click ‘Yes, please create a page for the password form’ and the plugin will automatically create a page in the front of your site – and embed the password form in the page too.

How to define who can access your content

How to define who can access your content

— User restrictions (B2B) settings explained.

User restrictions (B2B)

To update your User restrictions (B2B), go to WooCommerce > Settings > User restrictions (B2B).

You can define membership in three different ways. The method you choose will depend on the type of private store that you’re running.

  • Logged in users only – this is the most simple of the three options. Anyone who is logged into the site, whatever their user role, will be able to access the hidden content. Anyone who is not logged in will not be able to access the content. Simple.
  • Password protected – only slightly less simple than the logged-in option above, the password option allows you to password protect your WooCommerce store by creating one or more passwords. Users who have not entered a password will be locked out of the hidden content until they enter a password correctly. Having the ability to create more than one password allows you to set one global password or create multiple passwords, either unique to each individual or to groups.
  • User role – finally, the user-role option allows you the most fine-tuning of all methods. You can allow access to users according to their role so, for instance, only users with the ‘editor’ role can have access to your hidden store.

Example: in a buy three, get one free offer, the customer has four different items in their cart – one banana, one apple, one peach and one pear. If the ‘Count by’ setting is set to ‘All’, then they qualify for the offer (because they have more than three items in their cart).
