codoc

FAQ

What are the conditions for creators to sell content using codoc?

The current requirement is to have a residence and a bank account within Japan.

What are the conditions for users to purchase content?

Users who can use a credit card, including those outside of Japan, can make purchases. The currency used is only yen.

Where are the free and paid parts of the articles stored?

All article content is saved in both WordPress and codoc.

Will the publication status be reflected in codoc?

Yes, it will be reflected. It will only be published on the codoc side if it is published on the WordPress side. (Otherwise, it will be set as unpublished on codoc.)

What happens to the codoc articles if I delete them in WordPress?

They will become unpublished.

How can I see how the article appears to buyers and non-buyers?

The view for buyers will be the same as when they log in with their codoc account by clicking “Already purchased, log in” displayed in the article. (The purchase button will disappear, and they can access the paid area.) The view for non-buyers will be the same as the state before logging in (not logged in). When you log in with an account other than your own, only the login button will not be displayed.

I can see the paid area of the article even though I haven’t purchased it. Why is that?

It is because you are logged in as the codoc creator, who is the author of the relevant article being sold on the website.

Can I use the plugin in the Classic Editor?

Yes, it is possible. After completing the integration settings, a codoc logo button will be added to the editor toolbar. You can use this button to add codoc blocks and configure article settings such as pricing in the main text. We also recommend enabling the “keep paragraph tags in the Classic block and the Classic Editor” option in the settings of the TinyMCE Advanced plugin that is installed for use.

Can I specify a featured image?

The featured image specified in the WordPress post will be used as the codoc featured image.

Can I customize the CSS?

You can override the CSS by specifying the custom CSS path in the codoc settings screen. Please import the original CSS file from https://codoc.jp/css/paywall.css and overwrite the relevant parts. Note that the HTML output generated by codoc may be subject to changes without prior notice, so please be aware of that.

Can I change the permalink registered in codoc?

The links are obtained from get_permalink(). If it is different from what is expected, such as when running WordPress under a reverse proxy, you can change it using the replacement settings in the codoc settings screen.

The codoc block displays “This block contains unexpected or invalid content.”

Please perform “Recover Block” from the settings button in the upper right corner of the block.

Does JavaScript code work?

Since April 22, 2020, the specification has been changed to allow script tags for external JavaScript loading to work. This supports embedding blocks for platforms like Twitter and Instagram in Gutenberg.

I want to add a button at the end of the article body.

If you add a block below the codoc tags, it will be hidden. Therefore, if you want to add social sharing buttons or advertisements, etc., please use the “Insert HTML before and after codoc tags” feature in the “Settings → codoc” section, instead of doing it directly on the post editor.

Shortcodes are being displayed as they are in the paid part.

In the “Settings → codoc” section, specify the following in the debug parameter. If it doesn’t work, increase the number:

{ “the_content_filter_priority”: 1000000 }
