Content Locker Setup: Step-by-Step (5 Minutes)

Short answer: Paste one locker script and lock your first download file today.

Content locking is simple on paper: the visitor clicks download, completes one sponsor offer, and the file unlocks. In practice most beginners lose money on three setup mistakes: one locker reused everywhere, untested mobile flow, and AdBlock left on during testing. The five-minute process below avoids all three.

1. Create locker

Inside your AdBlueMedia dashboard go to Tools, then Content Locker, and create a new locker named after the file, for example pack-capcut-01. Choose the responsive mobile-first style and keep the default 1-offer requirement at the start. Descriptive names matter because in two months you will run ten lockers and vague names become untrackable.

2. Paste code

Copy the locker JavaScript and paste it inside the element with id lockerSlot in download.html, exactly where the placeholder comment sits. Keep the demo modal code in place until your real locker is live, so the page never looks broken. Save, hard-refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R, and confirm the script tag appears in page source.

3. Test properly

Test like a visitor, not like the owner. Turn AdBlock off, open the page on your phone on mobile data, click Download Now, and complete a real test offer from start to finish. The file must unlock and the download must start automatically. Repeat once on desktop Chrome. If anything stalls, try a different offer before touching code.

4. One locker per file

Create one locker per file and never share a single locker across ten pages. Shared lockers mix up statistics and break per-page EPC comparison, so you can never tell which post earns. Cloning takes thirty seconds in the dashboard and keeps every download page measurable on its own.

Pro tip: test with the cheapest mobile offer first. If the simplest offer unlocks cleanly, your whole flow is proven.

Bottom line: one locker per file, tested on real mobile with AdBlock off, and your setup is done in five minutes.
