Enabling Exclusive Content
This feature is different than other Grow features, in that it’s not something you can just turn on. You will need to go into your post editor to actually block the content that will be locked behind the Exclusive Content feature.
Step 1: Navigate to the Exclusive Content widget settings in the Exclusive Content tab:
Step 2: Edit the Exclusive Content widget using either of the options below.
Option 1: Keep these settings blank, for a default widget to appear. If using the default option, it will match your brand colors if you’ve chosen to set them up and the text fields contain default language.
Option 2: You’re able to customize the Exclusive Content feature with the article, recipe, image, etc. that you’re trying to unlock! Just update the default text for your locked content by editing the following fields:
- Header: This is the title of your Exclusive Content widget.
- Subtext: This text will show under the header. This is where you can give your readers more detail about what is behind the lock.
- Button: The text that will show on the button.
Here’s how that customized widget will appear to your readers:
Step 3: Implement your Exclusive Content widget on your site!
- To lock a single element, use the CSS method.
- To lock multiple elements, use the Manual Placement code.
Step 4 (optional): Add your Exclusive Content subscribers to your Automailer list!
