How do I use the shortcode?

Wrap the content you want to protect with [contenuto_protetto]. Make sure to use the “Code” mode in the WordPress editor, not the “Visual” mode.

Can I customize the banner messages?

Yes! Go to Settings > Protected Content to configure the default messages. You can also customize each shortcode individually using the attributes.

What attributes can I use in the shortcode?

Use these attribute names (they are required by the plugin) in your shortcode:
* Banner title — use attribute titolo
* Banner text — use attribute testo
* Background color in hexadecimal (e.g. #0073aa) — use attribute colore
* Button text — use attribute pulsante

Can I use a custom link for registration?

Yes, in the settings you can enter an absolute or relative URL for the registration page.
