I just setup a Patreon account and installed the plug in. The API is on the Patreon side and wordpress side. Posts are flowing FROM Patreon to the website but not back. The posts on the website are not translating the images in nor are the attached PDFs flowing to the website. There is nothing on the posts that locks the content even though on Patreon the post is behind the paywall.
I am using MH Magazine paid theme with Elementor for page/post construction. My hope is that I can post content to the website and it will flow to Patreon with security and only be visible to the paid patrons when I want it to and be for everyone when the right setting is selected. I do have the Patreon settings on the post set on the website but do not see similar settings on Patreon. This might just be user error, which it most likely is, I just can’t seem to find any documentation to help wtih this. Thanks.
Currently post sync does not provide support for attachments or the images in image post type. Also post sync is in the direction from Patreon to WP, and WP to Patreon is not supported yet.
The patron-only status of posts should have been preserved though. The imported posts at your site should be locked for 1 only since the api yet does not provide the tier level or level of a gated post, only that its patron only.
I didn’t see any of the posts locked but that might be because I’m logged in to both my Patreon account and the website and am admin in both. I’ll have to browse from outside or get someone to look at it for me. Thank you for the response, but please note the way I understand my theme to operate it looks bad without the image. I was hoping this would be a good way to format posts with Elementor and have them show up in Patreon looking all nice. I will have to search for an alternative. Does the paid level perform this function? When I start having some cash flow I can move up, but can’t afford that right now. Thanks for the response too, by the way.

Yes, there is no gating for admin level users. It should be mentioned in post header under locked posts at your site.

From WP to Patreon posting or image post type are not supported in any plugin because the api does not support them yet, so its not possible with any plugin.
Additionally the Pro version should be ~$30/year, not $30/month, so it should be pretty accessible - intentionally.
