Grow your list with a content upgrade that really is locked
Email Unlock hides part of a post or page behind a short email form. When a visitor enters their address, the content appears — and you keep the address.

Free and open source. No third-party services, nothing sent off your site.
How it works
Block or shortcode
Wrap any blocks in the Email Unlock block, or use the [email_unlock] shortcode anywhere else.
Really locked
The hidden content is not in the page HTML, so view-source cannot get around it. It is delivered only after the visitor opts in.
Cache-friendly
The form and the content are loaded separately from the cached page, so caching plugins are no problem.
Everything you’d expect from a real plugin
- Returning visitors see the content straight away, with no cookie set on your site
- An opt-ins screen shows who unlocked what, and when
- A built-in consent checkbox with editable text
- Customizable heading, message, button label, and accent color
- Full WordPress Privacy API support: policy content, data export, and data erasure
- Available in English, Spanish, and French, with more languages on the way
