How to Install and Setup Age Verify
First thing you need to do is install and activate Age Verify plugin. Upon activation, go to the plugin settings page and choose the age limit. Save changes and you are done.
Customization
Age Verify is a simple solution but it gives you enough control to make this plugin essentially useful and efficient for the job. For example you can modify the looks of the Age Verification box shown to visitors by changing colors. You can also change the form type and choose from a drop-down dates form, input date form, or simple check-box form.
You can also adjust the time for which a user is remembered. The default is 720 minutes or 12 hours which you can adjust, for example you can make it 1440 minutes so that a visitor is required to verify age after every 24 hours.

how to add a code verification instead of age verification
how i can customize it,
I am running Windows Vista (I can’t afford anything newer!) and have installed it but have no ‘Activation page’ showing, nor an .exe file. Any idea where they might be. I have moved the folder from ‘verifications’ into my documents folder but that made no difference
We think you are probably trying to do something else. This is a WordPress plugin it does not come as an exe file.
This plugin stopped working on Android.
This would be OK only I need this for a French website! Can you have an option so that the text can be changed so I can write this in French?
Would be cool, if was an option to put that on top of a post or video.
The plugin doesn’t work well on iPhone. Opens very small, then when you start to complete it, it opens too large.
is there a way to redirect a user who is underage to google or some other site?
thanks for sharing!
very useful!
Awesome, this is exactly what I need. I had another solution (the name escapes me) but it was buggy. Thanks!
