Restrict Content Pro
Gate Jetonomy spaces by Restrict Content Pro subscription level - with automatic access on activation and automatic removal on expiry or cancellation.
PRO - This feature requires Jetonomy Pro.
What You Will Learn
- How Jetonomy Pro detects Restrict Content Pro (RCP)
- How to create an Access Rule tied to an RCP subscription level
- What membership events trigger auto-join and auto-leave
- How to handle free and paid RCP levels differently
How Detection Works
Jetonomy Pro detects Restrict Content Pro automatically when both plugins are active. The RCP adapter registers with the Adapter Registry and adds Restrict Content Pro Level as a Rule Type in the Access Rules tab for every space.
Note: Jetonomy Pro supports Restrict Content Pro version 3.x and above. If you are on an older version, update RCP first.
Setting Up an Access Rule
- Go to Jetonomy → Spaces and open the space you want to gate.
- Click the Access Rules tab.
- Set Rule Type to Restrict Content Pro Level.
- Pick the subscription level in the Value field.
- Set Grants to Participate and Space Role to Member for a standard gated space.
- Click Add Rule.
Members with an active subscription to the selected level gain access immediately. You can add multiple rules to grant access across more than one RCP level. For what the Grants and Space Role fields mean, see Grants and Space Role.
Tip: RCP supports free membership levels. You can use a free level as a gate to require a (free) registration before members can post - while still keeping the community open to anyone willing to sign up.
Auto-Join on Activation
When a member's RCP subscription status becomes active, Jetonomy Pro adds them to any spaces that grant that subscription level. The standard Jetonomy hook fires:
add_action( 'jetonomy_membership_activated', function( int $user_id, string $level_id, string $adapter ) {
// $adapter is 'rcp' for Restrict Content Pro events.
}, 10, 3 );
Auto-Leave on Expiry or Cancellation
When an RCP subscription expires, is cancelled, or is set to pending, Jetonomy Pro removes the member from any spaces gated exclusively to that level. The hook jetonomy_membership_deactivated fires with $adapter = 'rcp'.
| RCP Status | Access |
|---|---|
| Active | Granted |
| Pending | Revoked |
| Expired | Revoked |
| Cancelled | Revoked |
| Disabled | Revoked |
Combining with Other Adapters
RCP rules stack with all other Access Rule types in Jetonomy. A member gains access to a space if they satisfy any single rule - whether it comes from RCP, MemberPress, WooCommerce, or trust level.
Troubleshooting
RCP Level not appearing in Rule Type dropdown - Confirm Jetonomy Pro is active and Restrict Content Pro is active. Check that at least one subscription level exists in Restrict Content → Subscription Levels.
Member not removed after subscription expires - RCP can be configured to change status on expiry, grace periods, or manual review. Jetonomy listens to RCP 3.x membership API actions: rcp_membership_post_activate, rcp_membership_post_cancel, and rcp_transition_membership_status (which removes access on expired, cancelled, and pending). If a custom RCP workflow bypasses these actions, auto-removal will not fire.
Access still active after cancellation - Check whether the user holds a second active RCP subscription that also grants access to the space via a separate rule.
