good plugin. simple and to the point. at first I was confused about how to customise and activate so here’s how:
no coding needed, no shortcodes, no widgets. It appears without you doing anything. Save your settings, test it and there you go 🙂
Thanks for the plugin!
Works fine! Just can’t find where can I translate the “continue to site” string
Unacceptable.
Thanks!
What a fantastic little age gate plugin.
I use it for an online liquor shop.
Easy to set up, not a lot of configuration capabilities, but it does what it needs to.
Like the redirect if user ticks NO.
