详情介绍:
Kipphard Age Verification protects your WordPress site or specific pages from access by underage visitors. A full-screen overlay appears before any content is visible. The visitor confirms their minimum age by clicking a button or entering their date of birth.
What this plugin does:
- Full-screen fail-safe overlay — visible by default via CSS; JavaScript removes it only when a valid confirmation cookie exists or the visitor confirms
- Two verification modes: simple confirmation (Yes / No) or date-of-birth entry
- Date-of-birth calculation runs entirely in the visitor's browser — no personal data is ever sent to the server
- Configurable scope: entire website or specific pages by ID
- Customisable overlay background colour, accent colour (buttons), and optional logo
- Configurable decline action: show an inline message or redirect to a URL
- Functional cookie (
kipphard_age_verification_ok=1) stores confirmation for 1–3650 days (no tracking, no profiling, no PII) - Optional branding notice in the overlay footer — can be switched off in the settings
- No external dependencies, no CDN, no third-party requests
- WooCommerce integration: gate only products in specific categories
安装:
- Upload the
kipphard-age-verificationfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install it from the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin. - Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.
- Go to Age Verification in the admin menu and configure your settings.
- Save — the overlay is active immediately.

常见问题:
Is this a legally binding age check?
No. This overlay is a confirmation barrier that makes it harder for underage visitors to access content and provides an honest notice. It is not a hard identity verification. A genuine check requires ID-based methods (document scan, PostIdent, or equivalent). For content regulated by youth-protection law, get qualified legal advice.
Is any personal data stored or transmitted?
No. When using the "date of birth" mode, the date is calculated entirely in the visitor's browser and never sent to the server. After confirmation, only an anonymous functional cookie (kipphard_age_verification_ok=1) is set.
What happens if JavaScript is disabled?
The overlay stays visible (fail-safe). Content is inaccessible without JavaScript.
Does the plugin work with WooCommerce?
The free version gates the entire site or specific pages. The Pro version enables gating at the WooCommerce product-category level.
Can I customise the design?
Yes. You can choose the overlay background colour, accent colour, and an optional logo directly in the settings, and you can switch off the branding notice in the overlay footer.
Where and how is the cookie set?
The cookie kipphard_age_verification_ok=1 is set by JavaScript after confirmation — no server request is involved. It applies to path /, has a configurable lifetime (1–3650 days), and is marked SameSite=Lax.
更新日志:
0.4.3
- Changed: the WordPress.org build no longer bundles translation files (.po/.mo). Translations are delivered as language packs from translate.wordpress.org (WordPress.org review feedback).
- Changed: the critical overlay CSS is now attached via wp_add_inline_style() instead of being echoed as a raw style tag on wp_head (WordPress.org review feedback).
- Fixed: the bundled German translation now loads. WordPress only auto-loads translations shipped as language packs, so the de_DE catalog included with the plugin was never used.
- Fixed: the age gate and admin screens used German source strings, so English sites saw a German heading and menu. English is now the source language and German comes from the translation.
- Fixed: the date-of-birth day and month placeholders were hardcoded German ("TT"/"MM") and could not be translated.
- Renamed to Kipphard Age Verification. Unique plugin-specific prefixes for all options, nonces, admin-post actions, the cookie name, and filter hooks. The branding-notice toggle is now a free setting (previously gated behind a non-functional license check). Removed the geo-targeting and custom CSS fields, which were unimplemented placeholders never gated by any real Pro mechanism. The only remaining Pro feature is genuine: WooCommerce product-category gating, shipped as a separate add-on class.
- Shared Kipphard design system (kip-ui) for a consistent, theme-safe look across all Kipphard plugins.
- Shared design system integration; admin UI polish.
