Unlock-To-View is a lightweight plugin for WordPress that lets you restrict access to videos using an unlock code. No registration needed, the viewer simply adds their email, gets a code and unlock. Pay afterwards (optional)! Works with shortcode-based WordPress video players, YouTube, Vimeo, and direct video URLs without requiring a media player selection.
