Configure default access levels, trial behavior, front-end mode, and REST API access for the optional MediaBlaster subscription foundation.

Subscriptions General Settings

Location: MediaBlaster → Subscriptions → General tab

Configure site-wide defaults for new content, trials, how subscribers interact with your site, and whether subscription rules affect IPTV feeds.

Content defaults

Setting	Description
Default access level for new videos	Pre-selects free, subscriber, tier, or access-group gating on new posts. Override per video in the Subscription Access metabox.
Allow free trials	Enables trial periods defined on tiers.
Default trial length (days)	Fallback trial duration when a tier does not specify its own.
Hide premium content from public feeds by default	New premium items stay out of public JSON feeds unless overridden.
Unauthorized behavior default	Show locked message vs hide content completely when a viewer lacks access.

Setting	Description
Front-end mode	WordPress (theme/shortcodes), Headless (API-first apps), or Hybrid (both).
Enable REST/API access	Required for mobile apps, headless front ends, and Stripe checkout REST endpoints.
Subscribe page slug	WordPress page slug used for subscribe redirects (e.g. `subscribe`).

Setting	Description
Apply subscription rules to legacy IPTV feeds	When off (default), `/wp-json/tv/roku/` includes all published items. When on, premium content may be filtered per entitlement rules — test carefully before enabling in production.
