- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

It worked some weeks before, but now I discovered that it completely stopped to work. Last updated 2(!!!) years ago. Unfortunately this nice plugin has been abandoned by the author.

Thanks to this plugin, website visitors are forced to register in order to be able to read the entire content. This increases the number of registered members on a website and content becomes more important. Thank you for a very easy to use and functioning plugin.

Probably the best of similar plugins! I only disappointed with one moment: Unable to translate EVERY button text / phrase via WordPress admin panel. I was have to immerse to the plugins` templates. But after that, I must NOT update the plugin… ============== Пожалуй, это лучший из подобных плагинов! Куча настроек, всё работает без ошибок. Разе что перевести на русский можно не все надписи / фразы. Пришлось лезть в недра плагина. И после этого его нельзя будет обновлять.

Exactly what I’m looking for but when someone wants to read a post again it gives a session expired warning.

Simple, easy to configure and does what it is supposed to. The only feature I would like to see in the future update is avalibility of adding more fields to the registration form because you have only 3 now (email, name, last name). Other than that it works like a charm when you want your visitors to register in trade of getting access to the hidden content.

I have struggled to build this function to collect more emails and also protect my content. This is so useful. I met some problems when I first installed. And the support is very very helpful. In the end is I haven’t cleaned the cache, and have conflicts with my theme. also some email sending problem. But supporting is all along the way. Thank you so much 🙂
