Newsletter – Locked Content

Locked Content is an add-on for The Newsletter Plugin that restricts access to selected content until a user subscribes to the newsletter. It allows site owners to control visibility of premium or exclusive content while integrating directly with the subscriber system.

With this add-on, administrators can lock specific sections of a post or entire posts using a shortcode. When a visitor accesses locked content, the system replaces it with a customizable message or subscription form. As a result, users must subscribe before accessing the hidden content.

In addition, the add-on supports locking content by category or tag, which allows bulk restriction of multiple posts. Therefore, administrators can manage access rules at scale without editing each post individually. Furthermore, once a user confirms their subscription, the system unlocks the content automatically and tracks access using cookies.

The add-on also enables customization of the replacement message and subscription form, which helps guide users toward subscribing. As a result, websites can present clear prompts while maintaining control over premium content visibility. Overall, Locked Content provides a structured way to gate content and align access with newsletter subscriptions.
