Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Inklatch – Email Gated Content version 0.15.1 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Most content lockers hide gated content with CSS or JavaScript — the full text is still delivered to every visitor and readable in page source. Inklatch is different: gated content is removed server-side and only delivered after a reader unlocks it with their email.
Wrap any content in [inklatch]...[/inklatch]
Content is fetched after unlock — never present in the initial HTML
Works correctly under full-page caching (WP Rocket, Cloudflare, host caches) because the cached page is identical for everyone
Readers stay unlocked across your whole site via a signed session — no re-entering emails per page
Captured emails stored locally; one-click CSV export, no lock-in
Minimal, theme-inheriting form styling with CSS hooks
No popups, no upsell machine in your admin
Analytics: per-gate views, unlocks and conversion rate, counted so the numbers stay correct on a cached site
Webhook out to Zapier, Make, n8n or your own endpoint, so captured addresses reach your mailing list
Optional SEO mode: publish a short public excerpt and declare the rest with schema.org paywalled-content markup, so search engines can index gated posts without cloaking
Gate markup is yours: write the locked-state HTML under Settings -> Appearance so it matches your theme
