Legal Age Sign

The Legal Age Sign plugin provides a dynamic, live-updating compliance sign for websites selling age-restricted products. It automatically calculates the exact cutoff date based on the visitor’s local device time and your custom age requirements (e.g., 18 or 21). The sign features a live clock and updates the “Born on or before” date automatically at midnight without requiring a page refresh.

Features

• Customizable Age Limit: Set the minimum required age directly in the settings, and the math will automatically adapt.
• Live Time & Date: Displays the visitor’s current local date and time.
• Auto-Updating Birth Date: Automatically calculates the required cutoff date in real-time.
• Fully Customizable: Change warning text, phone numbers, and images directly from the WordPress dashboard.
• Theme Integration: Automatically inherits your website’s default fonts and text colors to blend seamlessly with your active theme.
• Portable Images: Default compliance images are packaged directly inside the plugin.

Usage

To display the sign on any Page, Post, or Widget area, simply insert the following shortcode:

[legal_age_sign]
