    Hello! Hope you are doing well and staying safe.
    I’d like help in creating a paywall for my website. It used to sustain itself between donations and advertising, but we no longer receive any donations, and ad revenue has dropped to the point its nearly irrelevant. Can you help me with this?

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there!

    Hope your day is going well! Here’s an article that discusses options and methods of creating such a paywall, and if it doesn’t cover what you want to do, come back and ask more questions :)

    Hi there,

    http://airchexx.com/ is not hosted on our servers on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider, so our ability to help here is limited, and the WordPress.com-specific features in the link above, like the Premium Content block, is not an option for you.

    As mentioned above, you’ll need to use a membership plugin on your site to restrict some content to only paying members. Most people also combine this with a subscription plugin, so people buy the membership as a recurring subscription.

    We recommend using WooCommerce, with its Subscriptions and Membership add-ons, but if you want recommendations for other options, you can also try asking in the WordPress.org community forums – those are the people who make the WordPress software you’re using, and plugins for that software, so will have a better idea of the different options that are available.
