Wired Magazine Monthly Edition paywall recipe

[Squiffers]

Hi all,

The daily edition of Wired Magazine works fine but the monthly edition fails - I suspect due to the paywall requirement.

Does anyone have a recipe that includes support for the paywall on monthly edition?

If anyone else would use this too, please feel free to comment here.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah it worked fine this time! Thanks a lot. I didn't get prompted to enter subscription credentials though - do you think it will continue to function without doing so?

[kovidgoyal]

IIRC it was never a subscription based recipe.

Fair enough. Will continue to use as is. Thanks again!
