Like Gate Pro is an improved version of our free Like Gate WordPress Plugin (available on WordPress.org).

On August 7, 2014 Facebook decided to stop Like Gating. Here are the exact text from the Platform Policy

You must not incentivize people to use social plugins or to like a Page. This includes offering rewards, or gating apps or app content based on whether or not a person has liked a Page. It remains acceptable to incentivize people to login to your app, checkin at a place or enter a promotion on your app's Page. To ensure quality connections and help businesses reach the people who matter to them, we want people to like Pages because they want to connect and hear from the business, not because of artificial incentives. We believe this update will benefit people and advertisers alike.

It seems Share Gating is against the policy as well.
We have about 80 days to come up with a solution (if possible).

We would like to thank Olivier for bringing this to our attention: http://orbisius.com/forums/topic/future-for-like-gate-pro-with-fb-removing-gate-functionality/

The plugin will remember the like status on a page when the same browser is used to visit the page (cookies are used) BUT it will NOT remember or transfer likes from your existing Facebook fan page. It is not possible without a custom Facebook app and user giving his/her permission to check their likes.

We offer 30 days money back guarantee.

Latest Version: v.1.1.7 - adds some cool fixes. Scroll to the end of you want to see the change log.
Basically, with this release the like gate will reveal hidden content even if it was set on a different page/post BUT are pointing to the same URL (fan page)
Example: you have the like gate pointing to your facebook fan page and you have included the shortcode on 2-3 pages. The plugin will remember that the person has liked the fan page and will reveal the hidden content on Page 1,2,3.

Around Oct 31, 2013: we require mandatory Facebook App ID because we can't use our facebook app ID internally anymore because it can work on our domain(s) only.
Here is how to create a facebook app and configure it for Like Gate and Like Gate Pro

    [ /like-gate ]
  • Once the plugin is installed you don't have to enable it. It's enabled by right away.
