A comprehensive overview and walkthrough of our Disclaimer Pop-up Window plugin which allows marijuana dispensaries to create custom age restriction and sitewide announcements.
In this tutorial, we’ll be reviewing this marijuana dispensary compliance and disclaimers plugin’s prerequisites, how to configure the plugin settings, and code snippets for custom disclaimer HTML content examples.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the plugin, you’ll need to set up and create the following:
-
WordPress 4.0+ must be installed
Plugin Settings
The Disclaimer Pop-up Window plugin’s settings allow admins to designate:
-
Enable Disclaimer
Enable the sitewide disclaimer notification. -
Disclaimer HTML Content
HTML content which appears in the body of the sitewide disclaimer notification. -
Start Date
Scheduled start date and time for the sitewide disclaimer notification. If empty, the disclaimer is shown. -
End Date
Scheduled end date and time for the sitewide disclaimer notification to stop being displayed. Start Date must be set to use End Date.
-
Exclude Pages
If the user needs to review terms and conditions before accepting the sitewide disclaimer, these pages may be viewed with out the disclaimer and without requiring the user to accept before viewing specific pages. -
Delay Disclaimer Display
In an effort to affect human users but allow indexing, you may set a delay (in seconds) for the sitewide disclaimer. -
Cookie Expires
How long to store the cookie, added to a users browser when the disclaimer is accepted, which prevents the disclaimer from being displayed. By default, this value is 180 days (~6 months).
