Yes, you can.

By default, the page/post title field doesn’t accept shortcodes. If you want to use If-So on your page title field simply go to the If-So > Settings on your WordPress dashboard and check the “Allow shortcodes in titles and menus” option.

Yes, you can! Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create dynamic menu items.

Yes, technically, you can. Though one of the biggest advantages of If-So is that you don’t have to duplicate pages. Instead, you can split-test only a specific piece of content on the same page.

Nevertheless, if you want to split-test a whole page, you can do so using a simple JavaScript redirect code that can be pasted inside an If-So trigger. We already have the redirect code ready for you. You can learn more and find it here.

Yes. You can create a conditional redirect to redirect all the visitors from a specific certain to a different page.

Yes, you can achieve this in different scenarios:

1. If the user is logged in, you can use our User Details Shortcode to display the user’s name.
2. If the user is not logged in, you can pass the user’s name as a value in a query parameter in the URL and then utilize our Query-string DK shortcode to dynamically insert and display the name. The user’s name can be stored as a cookie, allowing it to be accessed and displayed on different pages as the user continues browsing the website.

Absolutely! Any If-So trigger can be displayed as a pop-up (overlay). The pop-up will only appear if the condition is met. Learn more about it.

Yes, you can set up conditional redirects based on any If-So condition. For a step-by-step guide, click here.

Yes.

While If-So was not specifically designed as an A/B testing solution, the plugin and its built-in analytics can be a valuable option if you are seeking to create simple and fast split tests.

However, it’s important to note that If-So is not a dedicated A/B testing plugin and that the built-in analysis system primarily tracks conversions based on page visits (e.g., counting conversions when a user visits page X). If you require more advanced and complex split test scenarios, it might be beneficial to explore dedicated A/B testing plugins to see what they have to offer.

To import a trigger: On your WordPress dashboard, go to If-So -> All Triggers, click “Import trigger” (the button is right below the page title), and upload your trigger’s JSON file.

To export a trigger: On your WordPress dashboard, go to If-So -> All Triggers, hover over the trigger you want to export, and click “Export”.

If-So uses a TinyMCE editor with both visual and text (HTML) modes so that you can basically set up any content.

If you are using a page builder and are looking for a more convenient way to design your content, the styling options that are available for you are:

Gutenberg Users – You can assign conditions directly to a block (or group of blocks) instead of creating dynamic triggers. See how.

Elementor Users – Save any widget or section as a template and apply it inside an If-So trigger using a shortcode. See how.

Other page builders – Design your dynamic content in a new page and use the shortcode inside your If-So trigger to display the page content as your dynamic version. See how.

The way you load dynamic content with AJAX depends on your chosen method for displaying it.

Dynamic Trigger (link)

• Option 1: Enable the “load with Ajax” setting in the plugin’s configuration.
• Option 2: Include the attribute ajax=”yes” in the trigger’s shortcode. For example:

[ifso id="123" ajax="yes"]

[ifsoDKI type='geo' show='country' fallback='' ajax='yes']

[ifso_bulks id='1' column='B' ajax='yes']

Conditional Gutenberg block (link)

• Enable Ajax for each block individually. You can find the Ajax loading option below the condition.

Conditional Elementor Element (link)

• Enable Ajax for each element individually. You can find the Ajax loading option below the condition.

Yes.

While the plugin interface does not provide a built-in option to display a dynamic version based on multiple and/or conditions, you can still achieve the desired outcome.

OR Logic: Create an If-So trigger with multiple versions. If-So will first evaluate the condition of the first content version and display it if the condition is met. If not, it will proceed to check the condition of the next content version. You can create as many versions as you need. This setup essentially functions as an “or” operator in logic.

AND Logic: Create two separate triggers and insert the shortcode of one trigger as the dynamic content of the other. If-So will first check the conditions of the initial trigger, and if the relevant condition is met, it will proceed to evaluate the conditions of the second trigger.

Yes, you can.

Regardless of which page builder you are using, you can design your dynamic content on a separate page using your builder, and apply the page content into If-So using a shortcode.

Step- by-step guide

1. Create a new page or post and design the content using your page builder.
2. Create a new If-So trigger or edit exiting one.
3. Paste the shortcode below in the version content field:

[ifso-show-post id="123"]

4. Replace the ID (123 in our example) with the page/post ID of the page you created.

How to get your post or page ID?

To find the post ID, you can open the post using the WordPress editor and check its URL. The post ID is placed between “post =” and “&”.

Troubleshooting

In some cases, if you load the dynamic content using Ajax, some of the modules loaded using this method might not function as expected (Usually modules that involve JavaScript). Learn more.

Elementor Users

Add the parameter type=”elementor” to ensure adequate loading of all elements. For example:

[ifso-show-post id="123" type="elementor"]

Divi Users

Add the parameter type=”divi“ to ensure adequate loading of all modules. For example:

[ifso-show-post id="123" type="divi"]

WPBakery Users

Add the parameter type=”WPB” to ensure adequate loading of all elements. For example:

[ifso-show-post id="123" type="WPB"]
