Bread & Butter’s content gate preview feature allows you to limit access to specific web pages on your website to visitors that have authenticated. When the user goes to the page, the content is partially hidden by the content gate preview sign in section. It can be configured to appear immediately, after a period of time, or when a user scrolls past a certain percent of the page.
You can also customize the text content at the bottom to meet your unique business needs. Once signed in, users can see the page content.
To set up content gate preview, please follow the steps below.
In the left menu in WordPress Admin, click on Bread & Butter.
Click on the Content Gate Preview in the left menu, then scroll down to the setup section.
Specify the webpages or post categories that you want to limit to signed-in users. You can choose one or many pages. If you start typing, it will auto-complete.
Style your content gate preview by setting custom content to match your use case. If you don't specify custom content, the suggested content displayed in the fields will be used.
