Description

The Social Locker addon is aimed at membership sites, closed communities, and publications with restricted content, with content blocking conditioned on social actions and rules connected to Paid Memberships Pro levels. It adds a Social Locker layer to the PMPro protection flow to hide excerpts, grant access after social interaction, and turn shares into an access step to the content.
