Inklatch – Email Gated Content
0/5 (0 ratings) — active installs Updated Sep 13, 2026
A gated post: the reader submits an email and the content is fetched and unlocked. It was never in the page source.
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
