Click 'Save Changes'. == Features == Our plugin lets you add monetization to all or some of your pages and posts. * Monetization enabled and visible to everyone (default) - Allow all visitors to see the content, get paid when your visitor is a Coil Member * Monetization enabled and visible to Coil members only - Only allow Coil Members to see the content * Monetization disabled - Allow all visitors to see the content, don't get paid when your visitor is a Coil Member The plugin is supported with the Classic and Block/Gutenberg editors. Monetization can be assigned globally to pages and posts, to individual pages and posts, and to tags and categories. If you're using the Gutenberg editor, you can choose to monetize at the block level. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do I start using the Coil Web Monetization plugin? = Simply install the plugin. Once activated, you must enter your payment pointer in the plugin's 'Global Settings' tab. = What's an ILP-enabled digital wallet? = The Interledger Protocol (ILP) is an open protocol that Coil uses to stream payments. A digital wallet provider must support this protocol to receive payments from us. For more information about supported digital wallets, see [Digital Wallets](https://webmonetization.org/docs/ilp-wallets). = What's a payment pointer? = A payment pointer is like an email address for your digital wallet. It's how we know where to stream your payments. Your payment pointer is assigned to you by your wallet provider. = Do I have to sign up for a Coil Membership? = Nope. You'll receive payments from Coil Members regardless of whether you have an account with us. = Where can I report bugs or contribute to the project? = Reach out to us on the [Coil Web Monetization support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coil-web-monetization/). = Is Coil Web Monetization translatable? = Yes!

These include the fully and partially gated excerpt messages, as well as the unable to verify message which has been merged with the unsupported message. * Tweak - Code has been linted. * Tweak - Eslint is the new linting tool being used instead of JSHint. * Tweak - The Grunt watch task now also includes minifying the relevant CSS files as well to reflect SCSS changes made in real time during development.
