WordPress Content Gate Secure

Last updated 09/15/2025

The Bread & Butter Content Gate Secure functionality in WordPress allows you to restrict one or more pages to logged in users only.

Choose the way visitors engage: Email (capture only), First Name, Last Name, Email + Password + PIN (verified), Sign-in link (verified), Or social login options

To set up content gate secure, please follow the steps below.

Step 1. In the left menu in WordPress admin, click on Bread & Butter.

Step 2. Click on the Content gate secure in the left menu, then scroll down to the setup section.

Specify the webpages or post categories that you want to limit to signed-in users. You can choose one or many pages. If you start typing, it will auto-complete.

Step 3. Style your content gate secure by setting custom content to match your use case. If you don’t specify custom content, the suggested content displayed in the fields will be used.

The First Paragraph is the content that appears to the left of the tool in the blurred area.
The Second Paragraph is the content that appears below the first paragraph.
The Third Paragraph is the content that will display below the second paragraph.
The Third Paragraph Expanded is the content you want to display when the user clicks to expand. This lets you add more text for users who need more information.
The expand trigger is the “more” or “expand” text, and can be anything you want.
We recommend starting with “more >>” to see how it looks.

Enable Override Registration Destination URL if you’ve set a Registration Destination URL in your app settings,
but don’t want it to apply to content gate secure pages.

If you do not have a Registration Destination URL set in your app settings, you can ignore this setting.

Last Step. Click Save to save and apply your changes.
The specified pages are now gated for signed in users only.
