Yes, that is because max guest topic views
is set to 5 and when the page reloads than itās a new session so the 5 is counting again⦠I donāt know is there a solution for this because same happens if you close the site and opens that topic again where the Guest Gate opened before but in the new session you can read it.
Would this help at all?
Hi, I love this plugin, but itās broken on my site. Could you help check?

Hey @xinxi_wang,
Thanks for the report Iāve merged a fix for this. Please update the theme component.
Recent change seems to have broken the custom login url feature
When clicking the login button it just opens the discourse login and not our custom login
Hello @Damo,
Thanks for the report I merged a fix for DiscourseConnect login link. Please update the theme component.
Just installed. I am wondering if anyone here who is using this component had any significant increase in signups? On average most of my guests visit 9-10 pages before leaving (or signing up). Iāve set the limit to three now and am eager to see if this will bring any meaningful results.
Yes, sign-ups increase almost 10x. Itās a lead magnet but decreases your DAU/MAU by a lot since a lot of the new sign-ups are visiting your forum just once, especially those coming from search engines. A drip campaign trying to increase engagement might work luring one time visitors to revisit could help.
Thanks for the reply. But I guess itās still better to go this route, at least they will get the discourse digest from time to time and (hopefully) some of them will come back.
Yes but the digest might be irrelevant. A more top content focused digest would help which youād have to do it yourself.
And that basically means a forum canāt offer what those users are looking for. Or it gives direct answer and thatās why users donāt return. Forum, blog, what ever ā it just doesnāt matter how we call it, because all the time it reflects same thing: content and is that relevant to an user.
Bounces are totally normal situation. As long as it stays under 80 % everything is just fine. And DAU/MAU is just another metric and canāt bypass the most strongest rule: 90-9-1.
Still seems to have issues. The Login is a url not a button now.
Also seems to have issue when updating the settings
Can you send me some screenshots about settings and the site url to check this?
Thanks! Yeah I see now. This is because you using a custom code to make link looks like as button.
Update!
I reverted this change in theme component!
And the last update I changed the login <a>
link to <span>
.
Please change this code and add the span.sso-login
to this.
This customization is on your theme_3
theme component.
#discourse-modal.gate {
.modal-footer {
a,
span.sso-login {
outline: none;
margin: 0 0.25em;
padding: 4px;
display: inline-flex;
appearance: none;
-webkit-box-align: center;
align-items: center;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
user-select: none;
position: relative;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: middle;
outline: transparent solid 2px;
outline-offset: 2px;
border-width: 0.0625rem;
border-style: solid;
border-image: initial;
border-radius: 4px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #7b3ba5, #421560);
border-color: #7b3ba5;
color: #f6f4f6;
font-weight: 700;
width: 100px;
}
}
}
After change
I use an other method to fix the DiscourseConnect login link. So the hidden informations above are not relevant anymore.
Just a reminder You can use buttons instead links by enable the
use gate buttons
setting
Oh nice ye that fixes the issue thanks for the quick turn around.
This is a great component really helps drive sign ups!
Guest Gate can be bypassed by disabling scripts in browser, is there any way to fix this?
Hope @dodesz doesnāt mind me responding here.
Almost certainly not.
This is a Theme Component that canāt influence the back end and API and is mostly JavaScript without which this (and all other) Theme Component(s) wonāt function.
In the absence of JavaScript, Discourse Ruby on Rails will take over the rendering of site and will present it in a simple form. This is especially useful for crawlers and search engines.
This solution is necessarily a reasonable compromise meant to nudge people into signing up whilst maintaining SEO.
I figured Iād report here. After running this for two weeks, noticed no changes in signups whatsoever. I am on the same level as always (around 40-50 signups per day). I will still leave it, though. I like to be able to show a message to readers who lurk but donāt sign up.
Could it be, David, that the desire to āparticipateā as opposed to just āreadingā is a particularly high percentage of those who visit your community?
I imagine this TC will help those communities more where ālurkersā (who are oft content with just reading) are encouraged to sign-up to make it easier to continue to read?
