You can access the content restriction shortcodes screen using the “Shortcodes” menu item under “Roles”.
To add a new shortcode click on the “Add New” button.

User Type – Type of users to whom the content will be visible.
- All Users – Content will be visible to all users.
- Logged-in Users – Content will be visible to only logged in users.

Usage
Once you create a content restriction shortcode, wrap your content with the shortcode tags for the configuration to take effect. For example if your shortcode was “wptest“, then write your content inside the following tags.
[wptest] Your content. [/wptest]
The shortcode listing table will display the tags to use within the “Shortcode” column.
