About Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress 1.8.4
Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress is a plugin sold on CodeCanyon. As the name says, it is for age gating: visitors are asked to confirm their age before they can see your content, which suits sites selling or showing age-restricted products.
The listing gives no feature list, so check the documentation in the package for the verification styles, the minimum age setting and any per-page rules. The file on record is version 1.8.4 from April 2018. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site, and remember an age prompt is a notice, not legal compliance on its own.
Key features
- Age verification prompt
- Asks visitors to confirm their age before they proceed.
- Content restriction
- The name also says restriction, which points to limiting access for underage visitors.
- WordPress plugin
- Installs like any plugin and works with your existing theme.
- Options in the package
- The listing doesn't state styles or age limits; check the documentation.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Shops and sites dealing in alcohol, vaping or other age-limited products
- Owners who want a simple entry gate on a WordPress site
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that need verified identity checks, since a prompt only asks visitors to confirm their age
- Sites that don't run on WordPress
How to install Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress 1.8.4
- 1

- 2

- 3
Install and activate

Setup: using Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress 1.8.4
- Read the documentation. Find the plugin's settings and verification modes.
- Install and activate. Upload it on a staging site and open its settings.
- Set the minimum age and message. Choose the age limit and edit the wording shown to visitors.
- Test in a private window. Visit the site as a new visitor, confirm the prompt shows, and test both the pass and the fail path.
Common problems and fixes
The age prompt doesn't appear, or keeps appearing
- Why it happens
- Page caching serves a saved page, or the browser cookie that remembers the answer isn't kept.
- How to fix it
- Clear the site cache, exclude the gate from caching if the plugin allows, and test in a fresh private window.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.

Frequently asked questions
Does it make my site legally compliant?
No plugin guarantees that. It shows an age prompt; check the rules for your products and country.

Will it work with current WordPress?
The file dates from April 2018, so test it on a staging copy before using it live.
