But version v0.13.0rc1 doesn't yet allow to set monetization pointer in blog's customize page? I couldn't find it even with monetization = true set in config.

Probably templates are not modified yet?

Ah, good catch @gytisrepecka! There was an issue with the template file, which is now fixed in #463.

Thanks, will pull sources and try again ๐Ÿ‘

As for post content, is it meant to show paid content if monetization pointer is not set? On my setup I was able to see post content that goes after <!--paid-->.

Thanks, after merging wm-fix I can now see input field to add Web Monetization Pointer for particular blog.

However it seems post template also needs changes - in renders content after <!--paid--> in public page regardless.

Great!

The paid shortcode changes haven't been included in WriteFreely yet, as it was hard to set up the infrastructure for that before. However, they recently launched a public receipt verifier server, so I'm going to port these changes to WF now.

@gytisrepecka If you pull the wm-fix branch again, you should see the exclusive content changes. Please let me know if you notice any issues there!
