Locking the comments is a great way to give your paid members a Discount Code, a link to buy tickets, or encourage people to upgrade when running a giveaway. In order to lock the comments, there will be 3 steps when you create a post:
The first is drafting the post that includes the text, the media, and whether or not you want to notify your community via email. Then click "Next".
The second step is to pick who should have access to the media (if you choose that only paid members can see the media, you will be able to add a preview for free members to see).
If you chose that everyone (free members included) should be able to see your post and media, then a third step shows up. The third step is who should have access to the comments. This allows you to lock links/codes/etc in the comments just for your Paid Members!
1. Create a post and click "Next"
2. Click "Everyone" for who should have access to the post (this will allow ALL fans to see the text and media attachments)
3. Click the paid tier you want to have access to the comments (if you have multiple paid tiers, any tier higher than the one you selected will also have access)
4. Free members will see the post with the "Comment" option blurred out (if they click it, it will ask them to Upgrade)
