FAQ
How do I edit passes?
Under each post type with the paywall functionality enabled users with manage_options capability can add, edit and remove passes.
Are there any filters or actions to modify functioanlity?
In the main loop the wrapping of sesamy container is hooked into two filters, the_content and sesamy_content.
You can apply the sesamy_content to custom templates, shortcodes and others like this:
apply_filters( 'sesamy_content', $post, $content );
To modify the data before returned you can add a filter. The default priority for the built in main content is 999.
add_filter( 'sesamy_content', 'my_callback', 10, 2 );
function my_callback( $post, $content) {
// Filter content here
}
How do I customize the paywall design?
You can customize how the paywall will be rendered by supplying your own template in code using the filter sesamy_paywall like this:
add_filter('sesamy_paywall', 'show_paywall', 11, 3);
function show_paywall( $default_paywall, $post, $post_settings){
// Code for your custom layout. Please see link below for a complete example on how to create a custom design
}`
