Using the Public Preview option on your blog post limits how much a visitor can read your blog post. The portion below the Public Preview of your blog post will be inaccessible to regular visitors, that is, if you set the access to ‘**Members only**’ or ‘**Paid Members**’. This feature comes in handy if you want to keep exclusive content only for site members or paid site members; these posts are normally called ‘Gated Content.’

Here is how to use Public Preview ⬇️






⚠️ If you set the post access to Paid Members only, this will limit the access for the normal visitors or the “Public” and for the members who were invited manually**.**


⚠️ If you set the post access to Members only, this too will limit the access to the public. Only members who are invited by you will be able to access the posts.

Raw HTML <>

This option lets you add any raw HTML code to your blog post. It comes in handy if you want to embed iframes for any other features using custom code to help your content stand out!
