How to setup NFT Token Gating for WordPress Site

NFT token gating is a method of restricting access to certain digital content, services, or experiences based on the ownership of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). When a user tries to access token-gated content, they must connect their cryptocurrency wallet to verify their NFT ownership.
If the user holds the required NFTs, they are granted access to the exclusive content or experience. However, if the user does not own the necessary NFTs, they don't get access to exclusive content as they don't possess the prerequisite authorization based on NFT ownership. This allows NFT creators to provide special benefits and a sense of exclusivity to their most dedicated community members, while also creating new revenue streams.

Prerequisites: Download and Installation

• Log into your WordPress instance as an admin.

Blockchain:	Choose the blockchain (Ethereum/Polygon/Cronos) where your NFT/tokens are created.
Contract Address Name:	Assign any name to this field (e.g., space-punk-club). This name will reference the entire configuration.
Contract Address:	Input the collection address/contract address of your NFT collection. If you don't have one, please click here to learn more.
No. of tokens (optional):	Specify the minimum number of tokens/NFTs a user must hold to access gated content. For instance, if x = 5, users must possess at least 5 tokens/NFTs to gain access.
Token IDs (optional):	If you want users to hold specific NFTs, you can specify the token IDs. If there are multiple token IDs, separate them with commas (e.g., 1,2,3,4,5,6). Only users with the configured token IDs will access the gated page.
