See it on a real WordPress site.
The Harborview Ledger is a fictional news site, running RedeemID with its demo theme.
Open the Harborview Ledger
Every gate, badge, plan card and product block on the demo is the plugin’s; the demo theme only lays them out.
Run the demo yourself
The demo theme is free too. Install it on a staging site beside the plugin and it creates the stories, rules, levels and test accounts on activation. It is not for a production site.
What to look at
- Free and members-only stories side by side. Every card carries an access badge: Free, Signed in, Silver, Gold, or Gold and Silver. A story you can’t open shows its public paragraphs and a teaser, not the rest.
- Rules by section. The Investigations stories have no gate of their own. A rule on the section locks them, and a story in two locked sections needs both levels.
- An open window. One story is free to everyone for 30 days, then its badge turns to Gold.
- Content types beyond posts. Briefings need a signed-in account, Reports need Gold, and Corrections are never gated.
- The join page. Gold and Silver plan cards with buy-now, sent to checkout in Shopify.
- The shop. A Shopify collection with add to cart, product pages and a cart page, without Shopify’s WordPress plugin.
What a visitor can’t see
Opening members-only stories takes a customer account on the demo’s store that carries the right tags. The admin screens, the Access Test tab and the demo’s test accounts are not public. To see those, follow Get started on a staging site of your own, then add the demo theme.
Run it on your own store next.
Install the plugin on a staging site, connect a Shopify development store, and sign in with a test customer account before a real customer does.
