Usually we prefer free content and open source software that’s an attitude we always followed. Others want to be payed for information, software or something else. That’s the reason we wrote a plugin to provide payed content.
As we have the attitude of providing things for free, we will also give you this plugin for free. At the moment it is in beta status, it runs very well on the server of a customer but may not be so stable on yours. Beside your donation we also gladly look forward to get some feedback of you.

Installation
Installation
There are two ways to install this plugin. But both start with downloading the plugin and getting the login information of your FTP account. As I am very lazy writing documentations I’ll only describe the easiest one. So let’s start:
- First you need to login to your backend: http://example.org/wp-admin
- Then you navigate to Plugins -> Add New
- There you can read: “Install a plugin in .zip format” click on the browse button.
- Now find the previously downloaded faq.zip.
- Click on install now.
- You will be asked if you want to activate the plugin, click on it.
That’s the whole installation of the plugin. Now you can use it.

Getting started
Hopefully you got the plugin up and running. Now you need to configure it for your needs. There are lots of things which can be configured so let’s get started.
Backend
There are a few options you can set in your backend therefore you click on the Pay For Posts item in your settings menu. The pay for posts plugin needs an activated PayPal API and your API credetials. You also must set the API endpoint and the PayPal URL which are good for testing purposes. If you want to test this plugin simply go to developer.paypal.com and create a sandbox account.
If you need a custom PayPal Button simply set the complete URL in the field “PayPal Button URL” it is optional.
There is also a feedback function implemented so if you have “Feedback Page” where people can comment there thoughts about the payment process you set the url in this field.
Templates
Before you use this plugin keep in mind that you get 3 new pages.
- Order overview
- Successful payment page
- Cancel payment page
Therefor the template engine of WordPress has been hacked so you can create this template files directly in your theme folder. As the plugin will look for pages with the names order.php, successful.php and cancel.php you must name your template files the same.
As you can see in the comments of the template files they are for the WordPress default theme. At the moment of writing there are just four template functions which can be used.
- the_price()
- get_the_price()
- the_token()
- the_submit_button()
