Restrict Content

The GameEngine Restrict Content Add-on allows admins to control access to both posts and pages based on user progress. Content can be locked until users earn enough points, complete specific achievements, or reach a required level.

Step 1: Activate the Restrict Content Add-on

Before using content restriction, make sure you have already created the required Points System, Achievements, or Levels from the GameEngine menu.

How to activate:

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → GameEngine → Addons
2. Locate the Restrict Content add-on
3. Toggle the switch to Enable
   

✅ No extra plugin is required.

Once enabled, restriction settings will appear in both Post and Page editors.

Step 2: Apply Content Restriction on a Post or Page

The Restrict Content feature works on both posts and pages.

How to set it up:

1. Go to WordPress → Pages or WordPress → Posts
2. Create a new item or open an existing one
3. In the right sidebar, scroll to GameEngine → Content Restriction
   

4. Select a Restriction Type

Available options:

• None
• Points Required
• Achievement Required
• Min Level Required

Step 3: Configure Restriction Settings

Depending on the selected restriction type, additional configuration options will appear.

Points Required

When Points Required is selected, the following settings are available:

• Enter Points Amount
  Define the minimum number of points required to unlock the content.
• Lock Images & Links Only (Optional)
  • Text remains visible
  • Images and links stay locked
  • Ideal for preview-style content
• Lock Message
  Custom message shown when content is locked.
  

Example Lock Message:
“🔒 You need 100 points to access this content.”

Achievement Required

• Select the required achievement
• Content unlocks automatically after completion
  

Minimum Level Required

• Content unlocks when the user reaches that level

Step 4: Frontend User Experience

• Users who meet the requirement can access the content normally
• Users who do not meet the requirement:
  • See the Lock Message
  • May see partial content if Lock Images & Links Only is enabled
• Content unlocks automatically once conditions are met
  

Example Use Cases
