Plugin Settings

After installing the plugin, go to AgeOnce in the WordPress admin sidebar to configure.

API Credentials

Status

Enable or disable the plugin.

• Enabled — Age verification is active
• Disabled — Plugin does not intercept content or checkout

Client ID

Unique identifier of your client in AgeOnce.

• Get it from Dashboard Settings
• Create a new client if you don't have one yet

Client Secret

Secret key for API request authentication.

Redirect URI

The plugin automatically uses this callback URL (format ?ageonce_callback=1):

https://yoursite.com/?ageonce_callback=1

The exact URL for your site is shown in the plugin settings — copy it and add to allowed Redirect URIs in your Dashboard Settings.

Content Rules

Content restriction is configured per post type (Pages, Posts, Products, etc.).

For each post type you can:

1. Enable/disable — Turn age verification on or off for that content type
2. Allow Manual Locking via Metabox — When enabled, you can protect individual pages, posts, or products. An AgeOnce Protection metabox will appear in the sidebar on the edit screen for each post/page/product. There you can enable protection separately for that specific item, regardless of its category.
3. Active Age Groups — Choose which age thresholds apply: 16+, 18+, 21+
4. Per-age rules — For each enabled age group (e.g. 18+ Rules), select taxonomy terms (Categories, Product Categories, etc.). Content in those terms will require verification for that age

Example

• Enable Products
• Check 18+ as active age group
• In 18+ Rules, select "Alcohol" in Product Categories
• All products in the Alcohol category will require 18+ verification

After Configuration

1. Save changes
2. Add the Redirect URI to Dashboard Settings
3. Test by opening a restricted page or adding an age-restricted product to cart and going to checkout
