Website and Patreon Linking Guide

Got this guide from a fellow Patreon user. I'm using the official Patreon plugin, so hopefully, the Patreon integration works.

For anyone wondering why I'm using a website to host the advanced chapters, read this: "Announcement #1".

If you're already a Patreon member and have the required tier to access the advanced chapter (e.g., Prince, King, or Emperor):

• For example, go to this chapter link: https://valrnovels.com/looking-forward-to-another-world/lftaw-chapter-377-fury/

• Scroll down until you see a button that says "UNLOCK WITH PATREON", typically located at the center of the page, then look for a text link saying "Refresh" below the "UNLOCK WITH PATREON" button. See the image below and look at the "Refresh" text link inside the red square. After you find it, click it.

  

• You'll be redirected to Patreon to log in to your account by entering your credentials—either a username and password or a social media login if you're not already logged in. If you are, you may be redirected automatically.

• After logging in, Patreon will ask you to authorize the website to access certain information from your Patreon account. Click "Allow" to proceed.

• Once authorized, you should be redirected back to the website with your Patreon account now linked (you'll see your Patreon profile picture in the upper-right corner if you succeed).

• Now, the chapter should be unlocked.

If the advanced chapter is still locked:

• If the advanced chapter does not unlock after following the above steps, click on the "Refresh" link below "UNLOCK WITH PATREON" again to help resolve temporary communication issues between Patreon and the website.

• Ensure that your Patreon account is active and has the necessary subscription and tier to access the advanced chapter on the website.

• If you're not logged in to Patreon, you'll need to do so when prompted.

• The "Refresh" link is a troubleshooting step that can help if the website doesn't immediately recognize your Patreon subscription.

Note:

• The "UNLOCK WITH PATREON" button is mainly for those who are not yet Patreon members or are in a lower tier and want to read the advanced chapter for a higher tier (e.g., a member in the Prince tier who wants to read chapters for the Emperor tier).

• If you click the "UNLOCK WITH PATREON" button, it will direct you to the Patreon payment page, either to pledge/join or upgrade your tier to the required tier. However, I recommend doing it at Patreon directly instead of the website to avoid complications if you intend to pledge or upgrade your tier.
