# Use the paywall divider block

> Use the Memberful Paywall Divider block to choose where a public preview ends and members-only content begins in a WordPress post or page.

export const RelatedDocs = ({link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7, link8, link9, link10, className = ""}) => {
  const links = [link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7, link8, link9, link10].filter(Boolean);
  if (!links.length) return null;
  return <section className={`related-docs border dark:border-gray-700 rounded-2xl px-6 py-4 mt-6 ${className}`}>
      <p className="mb-2 font-medium">
        <strong>Related help docs:</strong>
      </p>
      <ul className="space-y-1 mb-1 mt-1">
        {links.map((link, index) => <li key={index}>
            <a href={link.url}>{link.label}</a>
          </li>)}
      </ul>
    </section>;
};

The Memberful Paywall Divider block lets you set the exact point where free content ends and protected content begins in a WordPress post or page. Visitors without access see the content above the divider, while members-only content remains protected below it.

In this help article, we'll show you how to add and position the Paywall Divider block, explain how it interacts with other content protection settings, and test the result.

## Understand what visitors and members see

Visitors who do not have access see the content above the divider as a public preview. Content below the divider remains protected.

<Callout icon="info" color="#22E273">
  When a post or page contains a Paywall Divider block, the divider takes precedence over other Memberful restriction and marketing preview rules on that post or page.
</Callout>

## Move the preview boundary

To change the amount of content included in the public preview, open the post or page and drag the Paywall Divider block to a new position. Content above its new position becomes part of the preview, and content below it remains protected.

## Test the paywall

Save the post or page, then view it while logged out of your WordPress administrator account and the Memberful dashboard. You can also test it in a different browser.

<Callout icon="triangle-alert" color="#FFE044">
  Incognito and private browser modes are not supported for testing Memberful content protection and may produce inaccurate results.
