The Sesamy plugin adds paywall functionality for posts and custom post types using Sesamy to your WordPress website without having to write code to integrate yourself.

Features:

  • Configure which post types plugin should enable the paywall
  • Ability to turn the paywall on/off per post
  • Access levels to posts based on both single-purchase and Sesamy passes.
  • Set a custom price and/or pass per article
  • Ability to configure protection level based on how secure your content is
  • Ability to bulk edit paywall settings when bulk editing posts in WordPress Admin

Please note that using this plugin requires an account with Sesamy (sesamy.com).

Filters

The following filters can be used to modify the default output from the plugin:

add_filter( 'sesamy_content', 'my_sesamy_content', 10, 2);
function my_sesamy_content( $post, $content ) {
    return $content;
}

add_filter( 'sesamy_content_container', 'my_sesamy_content_container', 10, 1);
function ( $content_container ){
    return $content_container;
}

add_filter( 'sesamy_paywall_seo', 'my_paywall_seo_callback', 10, 2);
function my_paywall_seo_callback( $default_seo, $post ) {
    return $default_seo;
}

// The preview in the paywall
add_filter( 'sesamy_paywall_preview', 'my_sesamy_paywall_preview', 10, 1);
function my_sesamy_paywall_preview( $default_preview ) {
    return $default_preview;
}
How do I edit passes?

Under each post type with the paywall functionality enabled users with manage_options capability can add, edit and remove passes.

Are there any filters or actions to modify functioanlity?

In the main loop the wrapping of sesamy container is hooked into two filters, the_content and sesamy_content.

You can apply the sesamy_content to custom templates, shortcodes and others like this:

apply_filters( 'sesamy_content', $post, $content );

To modify the data before returned you can add a filter. The default priority for the built in main content is 999.

add_filter( 'sesamy_content', 'my_callback', 10, 2 );

function my_callback( $post, $content) {
    // Filter content here
}

How do I customize the paywall design?

You can customize how the paywall will be rendered by supplying your own template in code using the filter sesamy_paywall like this:

    add_filter('sesamy_paywall', 'show_paywall', 11, 3);
    function show_paywall( $default_paywall, $post, $post_settings){
        // Code for your custom layout. Please see link below for a complete example on how to create a custom design
    }`
