Whatever your reasons, you may need your site’s visitors to confirm their age before viewing the content of your site. Age Verify does just that. It’s a simple plugin that lets you specify a minimum age and add an age-gate between a potential visitor and your content, just to be safe. Enjoy!

  1. Upload the ‘age-verify’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Visit ‘Settings > Age Verify’ and adjust your configuration.

Good if you don't need to cache

By dragonword on June 23, 2019

Had to stop using it once my site got more busy since PHP based age gate isn't compatible with cache plugins. But if you're not planning to cache, this works fine

Would be better with Javascript

Like my review on another similar plugin, because this plugin uses PHP to check cookies, it doesn't work with cached pages...such as with the W3 Total Cache plugin or WP Engine.

Works...kinda, but no support at all

By RPackerII on March 15, 2017

My customers see it on every visit to the page even if within the time frame the plugin is set for. Support board is never answered by anyone even though there are active topics. Plugin looks to be abandoned as it hasn't been checked for latest compatibility.

Best of the Free Age Verify plugins

Works very well. Had issues in Internet Explorer, but figured them out. Does have some weird dashes it adds to the separation of the drop downs... and it kicks out an odd query field for a home page landing URL... which might not be good with SEO or Google. Doing research.

Almost perfect

The only thing that's missing for me is a couple of templates to make the form look better.

THANK YOU!

I am so happy to have found this plug-in. It works on my hosted WordPress site and does everything I need it to do. I found that it reflects our page's style and works on mobile.

great plugin, but has no support for mobile browsers

By gkop on September 3, 2016

I would like to keep using this plugin, but it has a long standing issue of not support mobile devices. Basically, if you access site from anything other than desktop and it will lock all users out.

Lets go into all that is wrong with this

By longjonsparrow on September 3, 2016

1. Very little ability to style this plugin

2. plugin gets stuck at the top of the page and will not move no matter the CSS styling that is done.

3. Unclicking the " Use built-in CSS on the front-end (recommended)" renders the plugin utterly useless.

4. No support

5. No redirect page
