=== Unlock Protocol === Contributors: julien51 Tags: paywall, ethereum, monetization, unlock, membership, subscription, member Requires at least: 5.1 Tested up to: 5.9 Requires PHP: 7.0 Stable tag: 4.0.1 License: GPLv3 License URI: https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock-wordpress-plugin/blob/master/LICENSE This plugin lets authors add locks to their posts and pages so that only paying visitors can view their content. == Description == [Unlock](https://unlock-protocol.com/) is a protocol for memberships that lets any creator monetize their content permissionless. In order to become members, visitors may need to be using a web3-enabled wallet such as [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/) or a web browser with an embedded wallet, such as [Opera](https://www.opera.com/crypto). They also need a balance of crypto-currency to purchase the memberships. The plugin enables "full-post" locking, or just block-level level locking, using the Gutemberg Editor. The plugin uses Unlock's default checkout UI, which means it lets users who do not have wallet create an Unlock account or even pay using credit card, if your lock supports this. == Getting Started == If you'd like to add a lock to your site, start by [deploying your first lock]https://app.unlock-protocol.com/locks/create). We _strongly_ recommend starting with a test network such as Goerli. While the lock is deploying, you should [download this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/unlock-protocol/) from the WordPress site. Then, from the administration of your WordPress.org website, in the `Plugins` section, click on the `Add New button and then on the `Upload Plugin` button to upload the plugin. Note: To allow new users to log in using their Ethereum wallet with a single click, make sure that __Settings > General > Anyone can register__ (for single sites) or __Network Settings > Allow new registrations > User accounts__ may be registered (for multisites) is enabled. Your existing users can link their wallets to their WordPress accounts regardless of this setting. == Writing locked stories == You can either choose to lock the whole post, using the post-level settings, or to lock specific Blocks in the UI with the Gutenberg Editor, for posts and pages. To add the Unlock Protocol block inside the page/post please follow the below steps: 1. Click on Post -> Add New 2. To add a block you just need to click on “+” in the editor. 3. Enter Unlock Protocol in the search. 4. Unlock Protocol block will be shown. Click on the block, the block gets added. 5. You will be able to see block settings on the right side. From block settings, add at least one lock, select the right network and, enter its address. Once your page or post includes the content you need, you can preview its content like any other WordPress post or page. We recommend the use of a web3 wallet which supports multiple accounts so that you can easily toggle between accounts which are already members and accounts which are not members yet! == Contributing == This plugin is, like all of the Unlock code, [open source](https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock-wordpress-plugin). You're encouraged to fork it and make any changes you'd like! If you believe these changes would be beneficial to others, we encourage you to also open a Pull Request so that we could add these to the main branch released on the wordpress.org website! = Local Development = To setup local development environment for the plugin using we recommend using [Localwp](https://localwp.com/).
