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.

Overview

About this plugin

Earn money with your blog or podcast

Steady enables readers and listeners to support the projects they cannot do without, by becoming members.

Members offer sustainable support for projects and personalities, not because they have to, but because they want to. Members are more loyal and committed than subscribers. And members liberate media.

Join the membership revolution!

Steady Features

  • All major payment methods: Direct debit, credit card or PayPal.
  • No strings attached: Steady takes a 10% commission, but only once you start earning.

Memberships with Paywall Plugin

Need a Paywall? Steady can help!

Set up a paywall for your WordPress Blog by installing the Steady WordPress Plugin. You can decide when and how to restrict content in each article. All you need to do is click the Steady Button in your WordPress editor at your preferred starting point.

Steady will then blur out the remaining content and display a preconfigured message. The Paywall directs visitors to your Steady page, where they can select one of your membership plans. The Steady WordPress Paywall is a simple and straightforward way to protect your premium content for paying members only.

And there’s no need to integrate payment providers: Steady takes care of that, too.

Adblock Detection

Adblock Detection is an additional feature that can be combined with the Steady Paywall Plugin. Adblock Detection helps you benefit from visitors who are avoiding advertising, by creating an opportunity to suggest they become a member, instead. Steady’s AdBlock Detection recognizes when visitors to your website are using ad-blocker software and displays a message which you can customize yourself.

You can also set the strength of your adwall – can visitors simply click to close the message, or must they always pay to read? It’s up to you.
