@gtwilson You guys crack me up with your hard-boiled humour.

@phoneboy Oh yes. I love that stuff. But for me, good bread is an essential side dish. Not for you, I know.
@jws Yeah. At this point I’m wondering whether any of this is worthwhile. As a means of growing my subscribers, I mean. It might end up being a one-off experiment. Or maybe I will repeat a few times, but not for every long post, as I had originally planned.
Whatever else they may be, the big silos remain good places to let people know about stuff on the site.
@jws All good suggestions. Need to exclude the hard to guess UUID from the home page for a while though.
In the end I decided to spam the hell out of subscribers by sending them the full post and put a teaser on the site with a display:none hiding much of the content.
I've already lost one subscriber, so this may not be the right approach.
@hazardwarning I think they have paid for and hosted mb sites, no? And they are posting with the mb app. That's what you have, isn't it?
@c To be honest, I'm not bothered about search results. If a person can be bothered to search, they deserve to find something.
Maybe I'll just email full content and put a holding notice on a draft of the post, to the effect of if you want to see this now, sign up, otherwise, wait a couple of days.
Strange question, I know, but … Is there any way I can restrict access to a post in WP without having to make people jump through any hoops to see it?
There are lots of solutions that allow only registered users to see a specific post. What I want ideally is a link I can give people that will work for them and not for anyone else. A page hidden from anyone who does not have that link.
The idea is to give email subscribers and other supporters access either exclusively or well in advance of the general public.
@matigo What with Nice v3 and 10C v5 I am becoming quite lost. I know you’re not, and I hope you’ll be sharing the road map in due course. From what I can gather, the new Nice is a posting engine, right?
