Advanced Age Verification Popup

Advanced Age Verification Popup is a powerful, lightweight, and heavily customizable WordPress plugin that allows you to add a modern age verification popup to your website. Ideal for websites selling age-restricted products like vaping supplies, alcohol, CBD, or adult content.

Premium Key Features (100% Free)

• 100% Cache Friendly: Works flawlessly out-of-the-box with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, and Cloudflare. No complex configuration needed!
• Multilingual Support (WPML/Polylang): Fully integrated with WPML and Polylang! Translate your custom titles, subtitles, and button text directly from your String Translation dashboard.
• Dynamic Minimum Age: Set the required age to 18, 21, or any custom number.
• SEO Friendly (Crawler Bypass): Automatically detects Googlebot, Bing, etc., and hides the popup so your SEO ranking is never negatively impacted!
• Multiple Verification Methods: Choose between Yes/No Buttons, Date of Birth (Calendar), or Both.
• Custom Color Picker: Fully customize the background, buttons, and text colors from the backend to match your theme.
• “Remember Me” Consent: Let users opt-in to a 30-day cookie, or opt-out for a single-session cookie.
• Bypass Logged-in Users: Avoid annoying administrators by hiding the popup when logged in.
• Modern UI: Features a sleek glassmorphism aesthetic with smooth CSS animations.
• Custom Logo Upload: Use the native WordPress Media Uploader.
• Redirect Underage Users: Send failed verifications to a custom URL.
• WooCommerce Compatible: Works perfectly on all pages and is highly responsive for mobile devices.

🚀 Pro Features Available Now!

• Manual Identity Verification (KYC): Enforce strict compliance by requiring users to upload a photo of their ID (NID, Passport, Driver’s License) alongside their Date of Birth. Admins receive beautiful HTML email notifications with attachments and can review/approve users via a backend Lightbox. Approvals send a “Magic Link” that instantly grants the user access!
• Strict Anti-Bypass Lockout (Underage Honeypot): Stop teenagers from simply clicking “Back” and faking their age. Failed age checks instantly drop a 24-hour cookie and IP-based lockout to physically block underage users from returning.
• Frictionless Inline WooCommerce Checkout: Hate homepage popups? Embed the age verification directly into your WooCommerce checkout page. Customers can browse your store freely, but the payment form remains completely locked until their age is verified.
• Secure Legal Vault & ID Watermarking: Automatically stamp uploaded IDs with your site name and the current date to prevent reuse. Documents are safely moved to a hidden, .htaccess-protected vault for secure legal compliance storage.
• Geo-Location & Country-Based Rules: Set different minimum ages per country (e.g., US:21, UK:18) and completely block or redirect visitors from specific countries or illegal US states.
• Advanced WooCommerce Integrations: Apply the age gate strictly to specific product categories or product IDs, protect cart/checkout stages, and automatically bypass verification for past verified customers.
• Premium Design & Templates: Instantly apply 1-click aesthetic themes (Winery, Cyber Vape, Minimalist CBD), pick custom Google Fonts, and add full-screen background images or looping MP4 background videos.
• Terms & Conditions Compliance: Force visitors to check a mandatory terms/privacy agreement box before they are allowed to verify and enter the website.
• Legal Audit Trail Logging: Securely log the IP addresses, timestamps, and countries of successful entries into a lightweight custom database table, complete with 1-click CSV exporting for state audits.
• Analytics & Marketing Pixels: Track views, passes, and drop-off rates on an interactive Chart.js dashboard, and fire native conversion events directly into GA4 and Meta Pixel for razor-sharp ad retargeting.
• Developer & Agency Tools: Export your perfect settings configuration into a clean JSON file to deploy instantly on other client sites, and customize cookie prefixes to easily bypass aggressive server caching.
