Source Code and Build Instructions

The complete human-readable source and build configuration are included in this plugin:

• assets/js/admin.js and assets/js/frontend.js: JavaScript source.
• assets/css/admin.scss and assets/css/frontend.scss: stylesheet source.
• webpack.config.js, package.json, and package-lock.json: build configuration and dependency lockfile.
• assets/dist/: generated production JavaScript and CSS.

To rebuild assets, use Node.js 22 and npm 10, run npm ci, then npm run build from the plugin directory. No build is needed to install or use the plugin.

The bundled Composer autoloader is generated from composer.json and composer.lock. Regenerate it with composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader. Composer’s autoloader is MIT licensed; its license is included in vendor/composer/LICENSE. No third-party PHP runtime packages are bundled.

Privacy

Subscriber email addresses, IP addresses, and subscription dates are stored in this site’s database. Visit counters are also stored locally; a one-hour cookie prevents repeated counting. A secret-access link sets a one-day bypass cookie. The plugin does not send these records to the developer or an external analytics service.

The optional Elementor installation button downloads Elementor from WordPress.org only after an administrator confirms installation. Elementor templates require Elementor to be installed and active. All four bundled templates work without Elementor, payment, or a license key.
