Summary

It appears that the paywall is not working for blogs, when set within the blog posting screen its self. You can set the paywall and it will work if you do it by editing the post on your newsfeed however.

NOTE: Canary mode is turned on.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new blog
2. Add a title, upload a banner image and type "test" in the content input field.
3. Click the "Paywall" button and put the blog behind a 1 token paywall.
4. Click "Publish".
5. Log out and log into a different account which has never wired tokens to the first account.
6. Go to the first users newsfeed
7. Observe the blog is not hidden behind a paywall

[original steps]

1. Create a new blog.
2. Add a title, upload a banner image and type "test" in the content input field.
3. Click the "Paywall" button and put the blog behind a 1 token paywall.
4. Click "Publish".
5. Log out and log into a different account which has never wired tokens to the first account.
6. Open the blog posted by the first account.
7. Click "Unlock".

Platform information

Windows 10 / Chrome (Version 73.0.3683.86)

What is the current bug behavior?

Paywalls within blogs don't work. Users who have never wired tokens to you can unlock the paywall which can be set within a blog.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Users who have never wired tokens to you should not be able to unlock the paywall which can be set within a blog.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

See on right hand side, the blog screen does show a paywall as having been set, on the left however on a fresh account the blog is still visible.

Possible fixes

(If you can, link to the line of code that might be responsible for the problem)

added 1 - High P - Blogs T - Bug labels

@benhayward.ben please confirm. There is little detail provided here about the relationship to the channels and wether or not previous wires happened in the month.

changed milestone to %sprint: Funny Frog

added S - Backlog label

Confirmed @markeharding tested with a fresh account

That is a different issue to what is reported. Please fill out triage details here with channel, wires sent and links.

There are no wires sent @markeharding, its a fresh account that is able to see a post that should be hidden behind a paywall.

Okay hang on, I see whats happening. Setting the paywall from the blog is having no effect. You have to edit it from the newsfeed screen for the paywall to register. Will update.
