Whether your theme is free or premium, Private Area will seamlessly integrate with it. ### Can I switch themes? Will I lose content in the process? Your content will NOT be lost when switching themes, regardless of the one you choose to use. ### How does support work? Support on the plugin page on WordPress.org is completely voluntary. Feel free to post bug reports, or questions about the plugin functionality. ### What’s the difference between a WordPress standard private page, and the ones created with this plugin? WordPress default private pages limit their access to admins and editors only. Private Area, on the contrary, allows you to define which roles have access to your pages. ### What’s the difference between a WordPress standard password-protected page, and the ones created with this plugin? A password-protected page is indexed, as only its content is hidden from guests: instead of it, you’ll see a form to input a password that will then unlock the actual page content. A private page created with Private Area, instead, is automatically excluded from indexing. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d7b5ab6c85a7834e62e42609800d449314b294a491f4f50727235106799b1615? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Didn’t Work for Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/didnt-work-for-posts/)󠁿 [marshapearson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marshapearson/) Est 5, 2021 Even though you could make a page that was private, I couldn’t figure out how to make it work for posts as well. Therefore, I was unable to use it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c0ced2ad5a0c50ec3a0903b1d1946b4309a9b5e4ed01ff7f8d40bc710f49e3e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Perfectly !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-2267/)󠁿 [nick6352683](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nick6352683/) Me 4, 2021 Works perfectly as advertised. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1d5cfe78dc9c5daa198eb92b33f99a6b6ced2e20575f29b7e3c54e28160ba17a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Couldn’t get this to work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/couldnt-get-this-to-work/)󠁿 [westerngeomancy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/westerngeomancy/) Metheven 13, 2020 I just couldn’t get this to work for me – I was unable to assign any user roles. It might be a conflict with another plugin, or it might just be my lack of knowledge, but I’ve given up and installed a different plugin ‘content control’ which seems to be doing what I want.
