Donate to Access Content is a free, unofficial add-on for GiveWP. It is not an official GiveWP product.
Site owners can hide posts, pages, custom post types, category archives, or a portion of a page until a visitor donates through a Give form. After a completed donation, that donor can return and see the original content.
What you can restrict
- Individual pages and posts (settings lists or the Restrict with donation metabox)
- Category and custom taxonomy archive pages
- Entire public custom post types
- A portion of a page with the
[cip_donate_to_access_content]shortcode or the Restricted Content block
Give donation form pages are never treated as restricted content.
After a donation
Access is based on Give donors, not a WordPress login. The same donor can return later as:
- A logged-in WordPress user linked to that Give donor
- A guest whose browser still has the guest-access cookie
- A guest who uses “Already donated?” and opens the signed email link
Optional settings include a minimum donation amount, access expiry in days, and how restricted posts appear in REST, RSS, search, and oEmbed.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or later
- PHP 8.1 or later
- GiveWP active (legacy v2 forms and visual-builder v3 / v4 forms)
- A published Give donation form to use as the default gate
