Patron Pro 1.3 major update brings you various important new features and fixes.
Lock posts by category, tags, custom terms. Lock any custom post by custom taxonomies and custom terms
A major new feature, this feature will allow you fine grained control over your locked posts.
Now you can lock posts by categories, tags. You can lock custom posts also by their own custom categories and tags.
For example you can lock Category A for $1, with a specific locking rule, whereas locking Category B, for $5 and a totally different rule. At the same time you can lock Tag A and Tag B with different $ levels and rules, and so on.
You can queue more than one rule for the same post type, category or tag! The last added rule will take precedence over others in case a post fulfills more than one rule.
Your existing post type locks will continue functioning alongside the new options.

Custom locked Post section/excerpt content $ level fix
When you used a custom text for locked post sections/excerpts by putting in the replacement string ***patreonlevelrequirement*** as the placeholder for the $ value for the locked excerpt, it was not showing the correct $ value.

Updating Patron Pro is now very easy:
If you see a notice that says new version is available for Patron Pro in your WordPress admin, just click to upgrade your installation. Patron Pro will do the rest.
