Adult content shield: hide adult photos behind a placeholder

Photos marked as adult are shown as a placeholder until a member chooses to see adult content. Where to mark photos and what members see. All plans.

Written by Team

What it does. A photo marked as adult content is replaced with a placeholder picture. A member sees the real photo only after turning on adult content in their settings.

Plan. All plans, from the October 2026 release.

For you, in the admin panel

Open Media, find the photo and choose Mark as adult content.

For members

In Settings → Adult content a member chooses whether to see adult photos. Until they turn it on, they see the placeholder.

Good to know

This is a placeholder, not a blur: the photo is not shown at all.

Payment providers and app stores often ask how you keep adult content away from people who did not choose it. The shield is part of that answer. Add the Age gate 18+ for the site entrance. Read more: Adult and NSFW dating sites.
