## Description

MugenCodex Chapter Coins Paywall is a lightweight coin-based access plugin for chapters,
episodes, web novels, comics and serialized WordPress content.

Lock premium content, give readers coins manually and let logged-in users permanently
unlock chapters from their accounts. It works without memberships, subscriptions,
payment gateways or a heavy ecommerce setup.

Main features:

 * Lock unlimited posts, pages and supported public custom post types.
 * Set the coin cost for each locked item.
 * Show a configurable preview before the lock box.
 * Let logged-in readers unlock content with their coin balance.
 * Manage user coin balances from inside the plugin.
 * Grant manual access to one or more users and chapters.
 * Lock several items through WordPress Bulk Edit.
 * Lock matching content by tag.
 * Filter users and review coin and unlock activity logs.
 * Use shortcodes for wallet and unlocked-content pages.

This plugin uses a manual coin workflow. It does not process payments or sell coins
automatically.

Shortcodes:

 * [content_coins_wallet]
 * [content_coins_purchases]

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate MugenCodex Chapter Coins Paywall.
 3. Open Chapter Coins > Settings and set the default coin rules.
 4. Lock a post, page or chapter from the editor, Bulk Edit, or by tag.
 5. Open Chapter Coins > Users and add coins to a reader.
 6. Test the unlock flow with a normal user account.

## FAQ

coins.

No. You can lock any number of posts, pages and supported public custom post types.

### Can one coin equal one chapter?

Yes. Set the default cost to 1 coin. Individual content can use a different cost.

Yes. When a reader unlocks content, access is saved to the WordPress user account.

### Can I lock custom post types?

Yes, when the custom post type is public and uses normal WordPress content.

### Does the plugin send data to external services?

No. Coin balances, access records and plugin settings are stored in the site’s own
WordPress database.
