When embedding content on a website, content protection measures must sometimes be implemented to prevent unauthorized use or distribution. EmbedPress allows you to protect embedded content views with a few clicks, preventing unwanted use of your content.
With EP Content Protection, you can lock embedded content on websites using the ‘User Role’ and ‘Password Protection’ so that the content can be accessible by certain people. This step-by-step guideline lets you learn how to embed anything in a website and control visibility with EP Content Protection in Elementor, Gutenberg or other editors.
Note: You must install and activate EmbedPress PRO on your site, as EP Content Protection is a premium feature of EmbedPress.
