<h4>Need a Paywall? Steady can help!</h4>
<p>Set up a paywall for your WordPress Blog by installing the Steady WordPress Plugin. You can decide when and how to restrict content in each article. All you need to do is click the Steady Button in your WordPress editor at your preferred starting point. Steady will then blur out the remaining content and display a preconfigured message. The Paywall directs visitors to your Steady page, where they can select one of your membership plans. The Steady WordPress Paywall is a simple and straightforward way to protect your premium content for paying members only. And there’s no need to integrate payment providers: Steady takes care of that, too.</p>
<h4>Adblock Detection</h4>
<p>Adblock Detection is an additional feature that can be combined with the Steady Paywall Plugin. Adblock Detection helps you benefit from visitors who are avoiding advertising, by creating an opportunity to suggest they become a member, instead. Steady’s AdBlock Detection recognizes when visitors to your website are using ad-blocker software and displays a message which you can customize yourself. You can also set the strength of your adwall – can visitors simply click to close the message, or must they always pay to read? It’s up to you.</p>
