About Restrict for Elementor

  • Users with a specific meta key and value

Premium version integrations and available criteria for content restrictions and other features

  • Alternative Content – display Elementor template or HTML / formatted text in place of restricted section, column or a widget
  • White Label – by adding just one line to your wp-config.php like this define(‘RSC_EL_PLUGIN_TITLE’, ‘My Restriction Plugin’); the whole plugin will become white labeled and ready for your clients.
  • WooCommerce users – who made any purchase
  • WooCommerce users – who purchased a specific product

Changelog

1.2.0 24/07/2026

  • New: Venuera integration – show or hide Elementor sections, columns and widgets to users who purchased Venuera tickets (any ticket, a specific ticket type or a ticket for a specific event) (premium only)
  • New: URL parameter criteria – show or hide content to visitors arriving with a specific URL parameter (i.e. ?src=newsletter), great for landing page personalization
  • New: Referrer criteria – show or hide content to visitors arriving from a specific website
  • New: Cookie criteria – show or hide content to visitors with a specific cookie
  • Restricted elements are now marked as dynamic content and properly excluded from Elementor’s Element Cache. Previously, with Element Cache enabled, the variant rendered for the first visitor could be served to all subsequent visitors, bypassing the restriction criteria. [Fixed]
  • Note: referrer and cookie criteria are evaluated on the server, so pages served from an external full-page cache (server or CDN level) may show a cached variant. The URL parameter criteria generally works with page caching since query strings typically bypass the cache.
