Hello, I want to give access to an entire Wordpress custom post type (several categories and posts) to my Patreons subscribers. From what I understand, the Patreon Wordpress plugin only allow to restrict single posts, not entire custom post types. But I see that there is an integration with the Paid Membership PRO plugin, which instead allows restricting entire custom post types. What I don’t understand is how the 2 integrate. **For instance, if I create a Paid Membership PRO tier to restrict access to an entire custom post type section in Wordpress, will my Patreon subscribers be able to access that section automatically?** I hope I was able to explain this issue, can someone give me some more input about it? I already read through this post [Patreon WordPress is now compatible with Paid Memberships Pro](https://www.patreondevelopers.com/t/patreon-wordpress-is-now-compatible-with-paid-memberships-pro/2823) but could’n find a clear answer. Thanks! ---

I guess one solution would be to use this more advanced plugin instead > **[How to lock entire posts, categories, tags from any post type - CodeBard](https://codebard.com/patron-plugin-pro-documentation/how-to-lock-entire-posts-from-any-post-type)** > > You can lock entire post types, custom post types, any category, tag, multiple categories and/or tags, any custom taxonomy and custom term with Patron Pro. First, visit the "Content Locking" tab of your plugin settings in WordPress admin, and click... I just found it and it has an option to lock entire custom post types ---

Yes, Patron Pro allows you to lock entire post types including custom post types, categories, tags, and custom taxonomies in one go. ---

That’s great. Can I also restrict a custom post type category along with all its child categories? I have also sent you a more detailed question from your website, I think could probably need some paid customization for my needs… ---

When you restrict the top category, all its children should be restricted too.
