Geo-restrict and age gate
Does fluent community allow to to age gate minors and limit community registration to the US?
You can ask for an address in your sign up form and allow US addresses only. Age gating is a bit trickier if you want to validate. But just adding a checkmark where the user confirms they are above a certain age is sufficient here in Germany (and we really have some weird regulations).
Thank you Andre! I also read that Cloudflare is a good way to geotarget. Appreciate the help.
Andre - is there a way to do this more securely as anyone could make up an address?
Patricia Montagno I think your best bet is using Fluent Forms as a 'gatekeeper'.
You could set up the registration form with conditional logic: if the user selects a restricted country or is underage, just hide the submit button (or show a warning). That way, only people who actually meet your requirements can register and access the Community.
Give that a try and see if it works for you! 😎
Hi all! I ended up using Cloudflare to geo-block the community URL on my site and it solved my problem. It’s also free which is great.
