Newsletter - Locked Content

Use a shortcode to place a locked section within a post. Visitors who are not subscribed see a message or embedded subscription form in place of the restricted content. Subscribers whose status is confirmed can view the material, with cookie tracking helping keep access available on later visits.

For broader restrictions, the plugin can lock entire posts associated with selected tags or categories, leaving titles and subscription prompts visible. Site administrators, editors, and authors can view the full content while managing it. Custom links in welcome emails or pages can direct new subscribers to locked material, and the subscription box styling can be adjusted with CSS.
