Starting September 13, 2021, we are no longer differentiating between Pro and Official add-ons and you now find everything on the Pro add-ons page. You’ll notice that we updated the Restrict Content Pro add-ons page to reflect the changes made to the Personal and Plus plans.
RCP Personal & Plus Plans Are Better Than Ever!
We hear one thing more than anything else from those of you with RCP Personal and Plus plans. You want a way to get your hands on the Pro add-ons without needing to upgrade from a single site plan to an unlimited plan.
For many of you, there are only a handful of the Pro add-ons you need to grow your business. So, you asked us to make the Pro add-ons available to purchase a-la-carte. We loved the idea, but we decided to tweak it a little to make it our own.
Starting September 13, 2021, Restrict Content Pro Personal and Plus plans include all 34 Pro add-ons. All 34 Pro add-ons represent a massive value of over $2,000!
The addition of all Pro add-ons ultimately means you’ll no longer need to purchase an unlimited sites plan to get access to all the Pro add-ons for Restrict Content Pro, so we’re excited to add more value to these plans designed for smaller site needs.
And, the best part is: If you’re a current Personal or Plus plan customer, we already added this massive upgrade to your accounts at no extra cost to you!
Every Add-On Now Supports iThemes Licensing and Updates
The iThemes Updater system is how we manage and deliver version updates to our plugins and themes. Restrict Content Pro and the original 23 Pro add-ons were already receiving updates via the iThemes Updater so you could use your iThemes account to license the plugin and receive updates. However, the 13 (Official) add-ons that are available in the WordPress Plugin Repository have not been using our updater system.
To simplify how we manage updates and to provide a consistent experience, we are adding the iThemes Updater to every add-on so you can use your iThemes account to license all your Restrict Content Pro add-ons for updates.
On September 14, 2021, the add-ons listed below will receive the iThemes Updater. All future updates to Restrict Content Pro and the 34 current add-ons will be delivered via the iThemes updater, so make sure to license them by logging in with your iThemes username and password. Check out our Help Center to learn How to License iThemes Products on Your Sites.
- Authorize.net
- Limited Quantity
- EDD Member Downloads
- EDD Wallet
- EDD FES Vendor Downloads
- Download Monitor
- WP Job Manager
- bbPress
- Campaign Monitor
- MailPoet
- Enforce Strong Passwords
To receive updates via the iThemes Updater, you will need an active subscription and to license the Restrict Content Pro plugins installed on your sites.
Restrict Content Pro Add-ons To Be Removed From WordPress.org
As we mentioned before, we are no longer differentiating between Pro and Official add-ons for Restrict Content Pro.
Starting October 14, 2021, all Restrict Content Pro add-ons will be removed from the WordPress Plugin Repository and will only be available to download from your iThemes Members Panel.
Two RCP Add-Ons Become Obsolete
Now that all Restrict Content Pro plans include access to the MailChimp Pro add-on, there is no reason for anyone to continue using the MailChimp Lite add-on.
The core Restrict Content Pro plugin allows you to import members from a CSV file, making the CSV User Import add-on functionality redundant.
Starting October 14, 2021, both the MailChimp Lite and CSV User Import add-ons will be removed from the WordPress plugin repository and will no longer be available to download.
Wrapping Up
All of these changes are based on customer feedback as we work to improve Restrict Content Pro and your customer experience. We’re also busy working on some exciting changes and new features for Restrict Content Pro, so we’ll keep you posted.
