How to restrict categories, tags, PDFs, and other content Leaky Paywall

We can restrict content a few ways

• Time: you set the expiration cookie for X hours/weeks/days to limit the number of free articles per time period. Most of our publishers restrict X/month, some X/week. Ex: Content restrictions are set to 1 article per month
• Free registration: After say 1 article view, the visitor can get 1 more if the register (and we send their email/segment to Mailchimp/Flowletter/etc. They are now logged in.
• Category/Tags: you can allow or restrict by WordPress category or tag. This is good for sponsored content category always being free or premium content always being paid
• You can mix and match (hybrid paywall) hard locked content and metered content as well as content that is free but requires a free registration
• Article restrictions: you can restrict (or set public) individual articles with our Visibility setting on the article page
• Shortcode wrapper: You can wrap our shortcode around specific article content
• IP Blocker: Tracks inbound IP addresses so visitors cannot switch to incognito mode to get around Leaky Paywall
• Google bypass: You can hard lock articles and let Google index the full content

Basic settings

In Leaky Paywall Settings choose the Subscriptions tab. 

Choose the Post Type and Category (under Taxonomy) that you would like to restrict. In the example below news 'Posts' are metered at 1 free article view every 30 days. The special issue editions 'Articles' (uses our IssueM publisher) allow 1 free article view per 30 days. The 'Tea Price Report' post type is premium+ content and is locked down (hard paywall - no free articles). Only paying subscribers can view the content (Number Allowed = 0).

Note: Make sure you set the restriction exceptions at the top. Restrictions are prioritized from the top down.
