Plugins

Two plugins. One of them is free.

Publisher is the paid half — members, money and email. Editorial Blocks is the free half — the blocks a news layout is built from.

Owldraft Publisher — $99 a year

Paid memberships, a paywall, passwordless sign-in and a newsletter, as one plugin.

  • One member list

    Tier and newsletter state on the same row, so a cancellation reaches both at once.

  • Your own Stripe

    Readers pay you. We take no percentage and never see the money.

  • Newsletter on publish

    Sent through Resend with a key you own, not through your web host.

  • Pages the theme draws

    Signup, sign-in, account and paywall in your own design.

Editorial Blocks — free

The post grid, list and hero blocks our themes and demo layouts are built from. On WordPress.org, and required by Publisher — which installs it for you.

  • Post grids and lists

    Lay out a front page out of your own posts, without a page builder.

  • Hero blocks

    Feature the lead story properly, at the size a news homepage needs.

  • Free and GPL

    No upsell inside it, and no account to make.

Install Editorial Blocks from WordPress.org

Not sure which you need?

If you want to charge for writing, you want Publisher. If you only want a better front page, Editorial Blocks is free and enough.
