Hides portion of content within a post or page until a user submits a Gravity Form. Can easily be linked to MailChimp or any other 3rd party Gravity Forms integrations requiring a user to subscribe to view content.

Description

This plugin uses a shortcode to hide a portion of content on a post or page until a user completes an action. Currently the only action supported is submitting a Gravity Form but additional actions will be added in the future. Gravity Forms integrates with everything under the sun so this could easily be used with MailChimp, Constant Contact, etc.

A cookie is used to track the user.

Example usage on a post or page: This content can be read immediately. [gated_content gf="3"]This content can only be read once Gravity Form #3 has been submitted[/gated_content]

Note: To ensure user sees content right away without having to reload the page:

  1. Go to the form's Settings
  2. Go the Confirmations panel
  3. Set Confirmation Type to Redirect
  4. Set the Redirect URL to {embed_url}

Advanced Options: All of the attributes used by the standard Gravity Forms shortcode can be included in the Gated Content Pro shortcode. Just prepend gf_ to the attribute. Here is how you would use all of these attributes at once: [gated-content gf="1" gf_display_title=false gf_display_description=false gf_field_values='parameter_name1=value1&parameter_name2=value2']

Frequently Asked Questions

Click on "Forms" in the Dashboard. The ID of the form is the first column listed.

How does it remember that a user submitted a form without forcing them to register?

Using cookies. Thus, cookies are required.

After submitting a form, the user gets a confirmation message instead of the content
