No, lifetime value does not supersede the monthly requirement. It is supplementary. $8 patrons and any patron who has $100 lifetime could access the post.
I have multiple tiers of the same value but offer access to separate content. For example:
Product A - Tier 1 ($3), Product A - Tier 2 ($5)
Product B - Tier 1 ($3), Product B - Tier 2 ($5)
With this plugin, patrons are able of higher tiers are able to access content of lower tiers that they shouldnāt be able to. For example, a subscriber of Product B - Tier 2 is able to access content from Product A - Tier 1.
Is it possible to implement a feature that allows checkboxes to lock content to certain tiers? For example, allow access to this post only to subscribers of Product A - Tier 1 and 2, excluding subscribers of Product B - Tier 1 & 2
Yes, currently you cant lock the same content for different tiers with same $ value. This is something that is considered for future, but i cant give you a timeline for its implementation, or whether it will be implemented.
You could definitely accomplish this if you can code modifications to WP (as a separate plugin) by using info from the api.
Hi
I just want to add a video post on my wordpress website page, which is locked and linked to my patreon post. Is there a way of selectively posting videos like this rather than having to sync all posts from patreon into wordpress?
I Hope you can help
You could sync your posts, then embed the video manually if it does not automatically get embedded into your synced post. Or you could post a new post at WP, lock it for a tier, and embed the video manually or link to your Patreon post.
BLOT: I want to leave existing patrons along, but require new patrons to sign up at the new levels. How do I do this?
I am trying to deprecate some of my Patreon tiers and there doesnāt seem to be a way to have the Patreon plugin require that you be in a specific tier, it seems to let people in as long as they are over a $ amount regardless of whether they were in a tier or not.
To make this concrete: I used to have a $3 tier called the āKnightā tier. I unpublished it, but didnāt want to disrupt service for existing patrons, so set the Patreon plugin to allow access to the Knight tier. I thought that would allow existing patrons to continue to have their access but prevent new signups at the $3 level. ā¦ But a new patron can still sign up to support me and manually put in $3 even though the tier is not available. The plugin allows them in anyway. So to me it seems to be testing for the $ amount only and not membership in the tier itselfā¦
I tried leaving the " Require the below precise $ monthly membership or over to view this post. (optional - overrides the above select box when used)" field totally blank, but when I save my post, it had been replaced with $3, the level of the tier.
Yes, currently neither the plugin nor Patreon (in pledge flow) support specific tiers.
A way to do this could be through using hooks and filters which the plugin provides. Using those, you can put in a check for tiers (or $ value) during registration. This would mean that any user who is just registering in your site by logging in via Patreon would have to be from those tiers. Whereas already existing patrons in your site would be able to use the site normally.
But this would also affect your patrons who did not register/login at your site before. When they try to register/login at your site for the first time, they would be forced to do it from higher tiers.
Hi ā¦I am having problem with the lifetime pledge lock
when I add a valueā¦ I no longer get a locked page . has this happened to anyone before?
all I want is to lock a page that can be unlocked with a lifetime pledge ( never mind the tier)
its a total lifetime pledge unlock ā¦is this possible?
-any tier spends a lifetime of 200 $ can unlock it.
No this was not reported by anyone else before. However as i told you in email, locking by only lifetime pledge is not possible. If you forward me the screenshot (or the video) i can look whether your settings are correct.
Hi thanks. will send you a video showing my issues.
Thanks for the support

Hi thereā¦ here is a link to the video ā¦( private link but you can check it. )

or you can download it here ā¦which ever way you prefer .
thanks again for taking the time to help me with this.
Yes, as i replied to you in email:
Its because Patreon unlock flow expects there to be a tier when you send a patron to unlock. That happens on Patreon side, so we cant handle it on plugin side. Until the flow at patreon.com starts allowing unlocking with only lifetime, this is how it works.
Howeverā¦
If your lower tier + higher lifetimepledge patrons log into the site via Patreon before accessing that content, they should be able to access that content.
If they are not logged in when viewing that content, they can click āLog in or Refreshā link that is below the Unlock button to be sent to login flow to login without pledging. That should allow them to access that content.
Do you have the Patron Plugin Pro premium addon? If you have it but you cant see the option, that could be a bug.
Hi. Iām using the Pro version of the plugin, and am wondering how I can make a video/audio clip patron-only in a post that also has sections the public can read? I donāt want the public to access the clip.
Thank you.
I think we are handling this through Codebard help desk - you could use the patron-only shortcode to make that part of your post patron only by putting the clip embed inside the shortcode.

Hello,
The locking seems to be working fine for pages but when Iām trying to lock files in my Media Library (.jpg, .pdf, .zip) it does not work. When I set a Tier in the locking combo box there and then press update it resets to āEveryoneā. (So, itās not saved).
Iām using Wordpress Version 6.1.1 and your plugin states supported up to 6.0.3. Do you happen to know if this functionality should work with 6.1.1 anyway or if a downgrade of my WordPress to 6.0.3 should heal this issue? (or if there probably is another problem?).
Kind regards.
The version support is not relevant since its a minor version difference.
If the locking amount is not saving in that interface, there may be something interfering with Javascript at your site. Check out the console by hitting F12 and going to console tab in your browser, and trying again to save the $ amount and see if there are any errors there.
Thanks for the quick reply. There indeed was an error in my console when I clicked update. ā404. favicon not foundā. ā I was able to fix this by configuring my favicon. Now I have no more errors in the console. Sadly itās still not working :C (Same behaviour as before). Iāve attached an image of my console when pressing update. There are some warnings:
That error is not relevant though. Is there any plugin at your site that modifies or enhances post or attacchment metas?
