You can configure paywalls globally for your WP site and there is a visibility setting on the post edit screen that lets you override the global settings. EG: Posts always show a paywall but this one does not. = How does Lightning work? = It's not very easy to grasp and setup at first, but once you've overcome the initial hurdles it's very easy and comfortable to use! Your users will need Bitcoin and a wallet. You'll only need a wallet because you are earning the Bitcoins! Custodial Wallets like the [Wallet of Satoshi](https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/) or [blue wallet](https://bluewallet.io/) are a good start, but eventually you'll want to create yourself a setup that's more secure.

Not Your Node, Not Your Rules."* = If I deactivate the Ice Dragon plugin, will I lose my configuration? = No. You can deactivate the Ice Dragon plugin at any time without losing any configuration data. = What can I do if something does not work as intended? = Please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
