Good if you don’t need to cache
by dragonword·6 years ago
Had to stop using it once my site got more busy since PHP based age gate isn’t compatible with cache plugins. But if you’re not planning to cache, this works fine
Would be better with Javascript

Like my review on another similar plugin, because this plugin uses PHP to check cookies, it doesn’t work with cached pages…such as with the W3 Total Cache plugin or WP Engine.
Works…kinda, but no support at all
by RPackerII·9 years ago
My customers see it on every visit to the page even if within the time frame the plugin is set for. Support board is never answered by anyone even though there are active topics. Plugin looks to be abandoned as it hasn’t been checked for latest compatibility.
Best of the Free Age Verify plugins
by beruud·9 years ago
Works very well. Had issues in Internet Explorer, but figured them out. Does have some weird dashes it adds to the separation of the drop downs… and it kicks out an odd query field for a home page landing URL… which might not be good with SEO or Google. Doing research.

Almost perfect
by koolmind·9 years ago
The only thing that’s missing for me is a couple of templates to make the form look better.
