Protected Content: lock an Elementor element
Protected Content can keep markup off the page for failed checks (before_render). That is stronger than Conditional Display’s hide, but still not a true membership plugin for whole sites.
Get King Addons
Install the plugin from WordPress.org, enable this feature in the dashboard, then follow the steps on this page.
What it actually does
Controls: Enable Protection, Protection Type (role / password / conditions / locker), Fallback Options (message / template / form), Form Shortcode, Invert Logic, Require Logged In User, Allowed Roles, Password Scope (element / global), Password, Global Key.
Condition-style extras reuse device/browser/login lists similar to Conditional Display. Password form script enqueues on the front end.
Where to find it in WordPress
Dashboard → Features → Protected Content. Select the element → Advanced. Password AJAX: king_addons_verify_password (logged-in and guests). Locker cookie via king_addons_locker_unlock.
How to set it up
- Enable the feature. Dashboard.
- Select the element to lock. A container is easier than ten widgets.
- Enable Protection and pick Type. Role vs password vs locker vs conditions.
- Set fallback. Message, a template, or a form shortcode.
- Test logged out / wrong password. Confirm the secret is not in the HTML if you need it hidden.

| Password Scope | element-only vs global key. |

Notes from the implementation
Global passwords are shared across elements using that key. Invert Logic flips who sees the content. kingaddons.com.
