Pay Per Post: Detecting User Pricing Plan
Once a post is assigned to a pricing plan, the plugin will automatically detect whether users are logged in and whether they have an active subscription to that particular page. If they do, they will see the complete post content.
If they have NOT purchased access to that pricing plan, they will only be able to see selected parts of the post (until the more tag or up to X number of characters defined in the plugin setting), followed by a buy now button showing the different pricing tiers available.
