I see tagdiv are trumpeting the online Newspaper 11 as good for online selling – but not, I suspect, of editorial content via subscription. This is supposed to be a publishing app. Surely a priority must be content metering via a fully integrated paywall. Otherwise, why call it “Newspaper” and not “Online Marketing Tool” or some such?
Hello!
I’m sorry that you are disappointed about our latest update already, but we are working a lot to improve the page speed in every update and also to add more settings and more possibilities to change the design or the structure of the websites based on the client’s requirements.
Our theme use the paywall from Woocommerce. Please check what’s new by accessing those links:

Thank you!
Thanks for replying – but I see no reference to “paywall” in either of those docs. I, like, I’m sure, many publishers, don’t sell anything except content. I use Newspaper – as the name implies – to publish editorial content, not sell products. The content is the product. I’m not a shop, so Woo Commerce seems irrelevant to me.
Can you give a specific link to any Woo Commerce plugin that allows content access to be restricted and offers subscriber access like Leaky Paywall does here?

Do you see that only the first two paragraphs are visible without subscribing? This is a paywall.
The problem with Leaky Paywall is it doesn’t work on any cloud template, so I am restricted to using a tiny amount of Newspaper’s scope. Hence I ask for Newspaper to offer something obvious – an integrated paywall and subscription plugin. It really seems the most elementary feature that a publishing theme should have.
Kind regards

I know they do memberships, but I’m not aware that allows content drip (or fade) as is used on many professional newspapers, for example:
But I’ll check it out. It might be enough to just restrict all content in a post, but that doesn’t give readers any taste of the article or incentive to continue.
Thanks
