    Hello,

    Is it possible this would work to allow access to a single post controlled by the Patreon plugin as well?

    @ksumwalt I am unfamiliar with that plugin, but if it uses a custom post type then you can add that CPT to the setting panel of Pay for Post and you will then see the Pay for Post meta box on those posts. If that plugin uses the_content() filter as most themes/plugins do, then you should be perfectly fine. Otherwise you might need to use the Inline Shortcode as explained here https://pramadillo.com/documentation/shortcodes-for-woocommerce-pay-per-post/#inline-shortcode

    Thank you for the reply, @mattpramschufer

    Patreon is a subscription based platform with a plugin which limits access to posts in WordPress. A customer subscribes to a “Tier” and gets access to specific online items. Posts on the Patreon site can be pushed to a WordPress site and access is controlled by the Patreon Subscription at both location. I am guessing this is similar to a WooCommerce Subscription. With the premium feature to work with WooCommerce Subscriptions, can a I sell access to a single post which is part of a subscription? I am looking to have a subscription to posts of a given Category or other metadata and also allow people not subscribed to purchase access to an individual post. In my case these are monthly lessons to a piece of music. The subscribers get 1 lesson a month but some of my clients are only interested in purchasing an individual lesson.

    Hopefully this is clear and possible.

    Gotcha. So with the premium version you can use WooSubscriptions and do exactly what you are referring to. You would create a subscription product and associate that product with every page you want the subscription to have access to. Then you could create a simple product for one-off purchase for the page/post. You would then assign that product to the page as well. So the user has the option then to either purchase a subscription for full access or just purchase the one page.

    Make sense?

    Yes, this makes sense. Thank you! I may install a trial of the premium version and test with the Patreon plugin. I have a feeling, however, that it may not workwith that plugin, so then it means deciding on changing moving off Patreon all together.
