 * Doesn’t seem to work with sites hosted on wpengine.
 * The age verification pops up with every page view when not logged in. When logged
   in, the plugin works fine

 * Based on a quick read of the [plugin](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/age-verify/tags/0.2.8/includes/class-age-verify.php#L357)
   [code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/age-verify/tags/0.2.8/includes/class-age-verify.php#L240)
   it looks like the plugin isn’t compatible with the WP Engine cache. I may be 
   able to help out from the WP Engine end, I’ve reached out the plugin author to
   verify some details of its operation.

 * Hi – I’m having the same issue with the verification popping up on every page,
   and we’re with WP Engine. Have you had any luck working out a way to only make
   the verification come up on the initial landing page?

 * I ended up just creating some custom javascript using jQuery and jQuery cookie
   and it works fine.
 * Essentially I call a modal on every page load unless it can find a valid cookie
   which gets set when a visitor clicks on an “I am over 18” button.
 * Here it is in action if you would like to see it: [http://vsgdemo1.wpengine.com/](http://vsgdemo1.wpengine.com/)
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       	jQuery(document).ready(function($){
   
           	var modal = UIkit.modal("#age-verify", {keyboard:false, bgclose:false, center:true});
   
       		if ( $.cookie('age-verification') == 'yes' ) {
       		    modal.hide();
       		}
       		else {
       			modal.show();
       	        $(".uk-modal-close").click(function() {
       			$.cookie('age-verification', 'yes', { expires: 30, path: '/' });
       			});
       	      }
       	});
       	</script>
       ```

 * Hi – thanks that looks great. Unfortunately my coding ability is pretty limited
   so I think it will be safer to stick with a plugin.
 * I’ve found another one I might try out – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/itro-popup/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/itro-popup/)
