PublishPress Permissions


Control who can view and edit your WordPress content

Choose who can view and edit content on your WordPress site. PublishPress Permissions gives you detailed access controls for posts, pages, and other content types.

You can select permissions for specific posts and pages. And you can customize exactly what people see if they’re not allowed to access your content.
