Gated Resources

Gated Resources WordPress plugin: a gated PDF resource library for Bartec Municipal. Visitors complete a short form once to unlock the whole library for 30 days; leads are sent to HubSpot, with Cloudflare Turnstile anti-spam. PDFs are served through a protected endpoint. Requirements - WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+ - For PDF cover thumbnails: Imagick PHP extension + Ghostscript (optional; falls back to featured image, then a placeholder) Setup 1. Install & activate the plugin. 2. Resources → Settings: enter HubSpot Portal ID + Form GUID, Turnstile site + secret keys, privacy policy URL, consent label + HubSpot subscription ID, unlock duration. 3. Add Resources (title, PDF upload, optional description). Optionally set a featured image as a thumbnail fallback. 4. Show the grid at /resources/ or with the shortcode: [gatedresources count="9" columns="3"]. 5. To QA the gate before HubSpot is connected, enable Test Mode (Resources → Settings) — leads are NOT recorded while it is on, and a site-wide admin warning shows. Turn off before go-live. nginx note (protected files) The protected directory ships an Apache .htaccess deny rule. On nginx, add: Files also live under an ungue
