Age Warning

Shows an age-confirmation notice before a visitor sees the site, and remembers the answer. For sites with adult listings that must show a notice.

Requirements

• ShopClass 6.1.0 or later
• PHP 8.0 or later
• The theme must call the header and footer hooks. Without either, no notice shows.

Install

1. Open Plugins → Browse (or upload the zip from the GitHub release).
2. Install.
3. Activate.

Set up

1. Open Plugins → Manage plugins, then Settings next to Age Warning.
2. Edit the fields:

Field	Default
Notice text	"This site contains adult content. Confirm that you are of legal age…"
Confirm button	"I am of legal age"
Decline button	"Leave this site"
Send decliners to	https://www.google.com/
Remember for (days)	30 (1–365)

3. Save.

Only http:// and https:// addresses work for the decline link. Anything else falls back to the default.

How it works

• A full-screen notice covers the page until the visitor confirms.
• The answer is kept in a cookie for the number of days you set.
• A visitor who declines goes to your chosen address.
• The notice is in every page and hidden in the browser once confirmed, so it works with a page cache.
• With JavaScript off, the notice stays.

Notes / limits

• It is a notice, not access control. The page is still sent to the browser, and a visitor can clear the cookie or read the source.
• Derived from the Osclass "Age warning" plugin (1.0.2). See CHANGELOG.md.
