MHT Entry Confirm adds a confirmation gate and content restriction modal to your WordPress site. Before visitors can view protected pages, a full-screen confirmation modal appears — content is revealed only after the visitor explicitly confirms they meet the required conditions.
Designed for sites that need simple, privacy-friendly access control without the overhead of complex membership plugins.
Common use cases:
– Age verification for adult content, alcohol, tobacco, or gambling-related sites 
– Content warnings for mature themes, violence, or graphic media 
– Regional or legal access restrictions (e.g. country-specific compliance) 
– Age-gated product pages for games, movies, or media with age ratings
Why choose MHT Entry Confirm?
– No personal data collected — fully GDPR-friendly 
– No tracking, no ads, no upsells 
– Free and open-source (GPL-2.0) 
– Lightweight — no impact on page speed
<h3>Frontend-First Architecture</h3>
MHT Entry Confirm is designed with a frontend-first architecture.
The confirmation gate runs entirely in the browser using JavaScript and cookies. 
After the page is loaded, the modal logic works independently from the WordPress backend.
– No AJAX requests to the server 
– No PHP processing during confirmation 
– No database interaction for visitor validation
All confirmation logic runs on the client side.
<h3>Features</h3>
– Blocking confirmation modal 
 Displays a full-page modal before protected content is shown.
– Cookie-based access memory 
 Remembers confirmed visitors for a configurable number of days, or for the current browser session only.
– Customizable appearance 
 Adjust logo image, title color, modal title, description text, button color, backdrop color and opacity to match your site design.
– Safe redirect for restricted visitors 
 Redirect visitors who do not confirm to a specified external URL.
– Flexible button settings 
 Customize confirmation and decline button labels, and optionally swap their positions.
– Exclusion rules 
 Disable the confirmation modal on specific posts, categories, or tags by ID.
– Cookie flag control 
 Change the cookie flag value to invalidate existing cookies and force re-confirmation for all visitors.
– Test mode 
 Preview and adjust the modal without saving cookies — useful for development and design tuning.
<h3>For Developers</h3>
MHT Entry Confirm dispatches a custom JavaScript event after a visitor successfully passes the confirmation step, allowing you to trigger additional logic.
The event name is stable within the same major version.
<pre><code><script>
 document.addEventListener("mhtentryconfirm_passed", function() {
 // Custom logic after confirmation is passed
 });
</script>
</code></pre>
