Age Gate Pro is a complete age verification solution for WordPress websites that sell age-restricted products (alcohol, tobacco, adult content) or require user age confirmation. The plugin displays a full‑screen modal with a modern blur effect on the background content, giving a smooth and professional user experience.
Administrators can fully customize every aspect from a dedicated settings page: enable/disable the gate, set minimum age (13–120), choose how many days to remember verified users, and define a redirect URL for underage visitors. The appearance tab allows changing modal title, message, button texts, and colors (backgrounds, text, buttons) with a live color picker.
The plugin uses AJAX to set a cookie without reloading the page, ensuring fast and seamless verification. A “Reset Age Cookie” link appears in the WordPress admin bar for testing purposes. The code is lightweight, follows WordPress best practices, is translation ready, and includes built‑in fallback for browsers that do not support backdrop‑filter.
This is the complete Pro version – no hidden limitations, no upsell banners, fully functional out of the box.
