Any thoughts on how to leverage a Joomla article's 'Featured' setting to control CBSubs protection?

e.g. If it is set as 'Featured', allow access, if not block access?

Well you could just protect the Read More content of an article and when creating a Featured article insert no Read More break. You could also create a separate category for Featured articles that isn't protected that you can move articles to as needed.

Both good ideas, but by using those approaches we'd lose other benefits we are enjoying by using Read More and categorization in the more traditional way.

I guess I'll just throw it in as a potential future feature request - to add an option for Plans under Integrations > Content where the featured/ non-featured status of an article could be used as a toggle to protect the article or not.
