Gate hand-picked pages
Lock just the pages you choose — a precise rule for a handful of premium resources, leaving everything else public.
- Pick exact pages/posts
- Leave the rest public
- Precise control
Sometimes you only need to gate a few specific pages — a resource hub, a private guide, a tool. Specific Posts targeting lets you hand-pick the exact pages or posts to lock by ID, leaving the rest of your site open. This recipe gates a chosen set.
- Only the selected pages/posts are gated.
- Everything else stays public.
- Mix conditions (plan, role, spend) on the same rule.
- Precise, low-risk gating.
