Checkpost Age Verification Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Checkpost decides whether to show the age gate in the visitor’s browser, using that visitor’s own cookie, so one
cached copy of a page is correct for every visitor and there is no caching mode to configure. It has been tested
with the page cache in W3 Total Cache. The popup can appear in the center of the screen, as a full-width bar at
the top or bottom, or as a full-page takeover, and the rest of the page stays blocked in every position. You set
it up with a live preview beside the settings, and it makes no external requests: nothing loads from a CDN or any
other third party.
Visitors confirm their age with a Yes / No choice or by entering their date of birth. It suits liquor stores,
vape and CBD shops, cannabis dispensaries, and adult content sites, with or without WooCommerce.
Core features
- Yes/No confirmation, or full date-of-birth input via dropdowns or manual typed entry — your choice
- Optional “Require Confirmation Checkbox” — an extra checkbox visitors must tick before the confirm/submit button becomes clickable, with an admin-editable label. Off by default; unchecked again on every fresh popup display; “No” always stays clickable regardless
- Configurable minimum age (18, 21, or any value)
- Visitors who don’t meet the age requirement see your underage message and stay blocked, or are redirected to a URL of your choice
- Remembers verified visitors via a browser cookie (session, 30/90 days, 1 year, or a custom duration)
- Gate the entire site, or only specific pages, posts and products
- WooCommerce: gate specific product categories only (e.g. “Alcohol”, “Vape”) instead of the whole store
- Works with or without WooCommerce installed
- Enable/disable separately for mobile devices
- Full design control: logo (with adjustable size), overlay style (none / solid / dark tint / blur), colors, font, custom heading & body text
- Popup Position: classic centered popup, a full-width Top or Bottom Bar, or a Full Page takeover — the rest of the page stays blocked in every mode
- Entrance Animation (None / Fade / Slide / Zoom) plays once when the gate first appears; Slide arrives from the matching edge for each position, Zoom is unavailable for the two Bar positions, and every option is automatically skipped for visitors with a reduced-motion preference set
- Popup Width and Popup Padding presets (Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large each)
- Popup background can be transparent (no card) instead of a solid color, for a fully custom look
- One-click Popup Content Color presets (Dark / Light) fill in heading, body and button colors as a starting point — still fully editable, and never applied automatically by any other setting
- Separate Button Hover Text Color, alongside Button Background/Text/Hover Background, for full control over the hover state
- Font size presets (Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large) scale the heading, body text, buttons and date-of-birth fields together
- Font can match your active theme automatically, or pick from a set of web-safe fonts
- Optional background image behind the popup
- Three starter templates (Minimal, Dark/Premium, Colorful) — fully editable after applying
- Live preview in the admin settings page
- Translation-ready
- Runs entirely on your own server, with no external requests
