While blocking or showing different products based on the user's location is not a built-in option, If-So, in general, provides the ability to display dynamic content according to the user's location.

Option 1: Displaying Dynamic Content Based on User Location (or any other condition)

If you want to utilize If-So to display conditional products, you can create an If-So trigger (with a geolocation condition or any other). Then, you can use one of WooCommerce's shortcodes to display only the relevant products.

Here's an example of a trigger with three versions (you can create as many versions as you need):

Important Considerations

1. In case you are using the geolocation condition, please note that the geolocation service relies on IP-to-location mapping, which may not be 100% accurate. While we utilize a premium, highly accurate database to ensure the best possible accuracy, some discrepancies may occur. You can find more information about IP-to-location services and how they work here.
2. If your site includes a "search products" option, the products will appear in the search results based on their relevance to the search query.

Option 2: Creating conditional redirect from the product page

Instead of using the method suggested above, you can create a conditional redirect from the product page to a different page (product or other).

This option is more useful if you have a single product that you want to display in one state and a different variation of it that you want to display in another state.

How to create a conditional redirect.

Yes, once a user self-selects, the selection is carried across all pages of the site. The solution is based on a cookie. If the user deletes the cookie or visits the site using another browser, the selection will not be saved.

Yes. The default Ajax loading settings apply to content that loads using the CSV extension.

In addition, as with standard If-So triggers, you can override the default settings by adding the parameter ajax=”yes” or ajax=”no” to the CSV shortcode.

By default, the number of allowed characters in a single cell in column A is 55. This limitation is intentional to optimize the loading speed of the dynamic content for users who don’t need a higher number of characters.

To change the max allowed number of characters in column A:

1. Add the code below to your functions.php file.
2. Visit one of your website pages (it will run the code).
3. Remove the code from your functions.php file.

function modify_content_column(){
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->query("ALTER TABLE {$wpdb->prefix}ifso_bulks_content MODIFY COLUMN version VARCHAR(100);");
}
add_action('init','modify_content_column');

The code above will change the number of allowed characters to 100. You can replace the number in the code with any other number. Bear in mind that if your file consists of many dynamic versions (thousands), there might be some loading speed implications (they will probably be insignificant, but it is worth checking).

Please note that if you reduce the number of allowed characters, the new number you set will affect content created in the past.

By default, the number of allowed characters in a single cell (except column A) is 1024. This limitation is intentional to optimize the loading speed of the dynamic content for users who don’t need a higher number of characters.

To change the max allowed number of characters in the relevant column:

1. Add the code below to your functions.php file.
2. Visit one of your website pages (it will run the code).
3. Remove the code from your functions.php file.

function modify_content_column(){
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query("ALTER TABLE {$wpdb->prefix}ifso_bulks_content MODIFY COLUMN content VARCHAR(2048);");
}

add_action('init','modify_content_column');

The code above will change the number of allowed characters to 2,048. You can replace the number in the code with any other number. Bear in mind that if your file consists of many dynamic versions (thousands), there might be some loading speed implications (they will probably be insignificant, but it is worth checking).

Please note that if you reduce the number of allowed characters, the new number you set will affect content created in the past.

Yes, if you have a custom user profile field created by any other WordPress plugin or custom-coded by your developer, and as long as the data is saved in the 'usermeta' table (according to the WordPress guidelines), you can use If-So to display dynamic content based on its value.

This is what we have sent the last time. It's actually what I meant to send this time as well. Does it answer your current needs?

DEFAULT 

* The default parameter accepts HTML if needed

Yes. You can display dynamic content based on any parameter you want. Simply, use the Page URL condition and set it as follows:

If: Page URL > Conatins > ?your-parmeter; Then: Show dynamic content...

Alternatively, if you want to create a condition based on UTM parameters, you can use our dedicated UTM condition.

Yes, you can display multiple pieces of dynamic content on a single page.

To do so, simply create two (or more) different triggers, one trigger for each piece of dynamic content. For each trigger, set a dynamic version with the condition Page URL > Contains> {parameter name}. Live Example:

Live Example:

For your convenience, you can follow the example below to see how to set your triggers:

Certainly! With our geolocation Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) shortcode, you can effortlessly achieve this.

For instance, if you want to showcase the user's country, you can use the following shortcode:

United States

Similar shortcodes are available to display the user's country flag, state, city, and event time calculated based on the user's timezone.

For all available DKI shortcodes

Nope, you don't need the Pro version of If-So to make use of the geolocation service.

The geolocation condition comes with the free version of the plugin, and you get 250 monthly sessions with our premium IP-to-location API for accurate results (for lifetime).

If your website requires additional sessions, you can opt for one of our geolocation plans.

You don't have to buy a Pro license along with a geolocation plan if you only want to use the geolocation condition.

We strive for maximum accuracy by utilizing a premium, highly accurate IP-to-location API.

However, it's important to note that no geolocation service can guarantee 100% accuracy. Several factors influence the accuracy of the location data, with the ISP of the IP address being a key factor. Accuracy is generally higher for fixed lines than it is for cellular networks.

If you come across any inaccuracies, please report them to us, and we will ensure that the database is updated accordingly.

Gain a deeper understanding of IP-based geolocation services and their operational principles

If-So utilizes the ipinfo.io premium IP-to-location API for geolocation-based content. This database has shown high accuracy compared to similar databases.

The database is regularly updated to ensure the most up-to-date information. If you come across any inaccuracies, please report them to us, and we will ensure that the database is updated accordingly.

We also have plans to introduce at least one additional option for geolocation services in the future. This will allow you to switch between different options based on your preferences and requirements.

Absolutely! You can implement a manual user location selection form (location override) that empowers users to choose a different location than the one automatically detected by our IP-to-location service.

Dynamic content will be displayed based on the user's selection. For additional information, please refer to our detailed guide.

No, there's no need to disable the geolocation service. The geolocation functionality will only be active if you set up location-based content.

No, a geolocation license is sufficient if you only want to use the geolocation service.

Absolutely! There are no limitations on the number of domains where you can activate a geolocation license.

Certainly not!

1. A session is only counted when a user visits a page that contains location-based content, such as a trigger with a geolocation condition or a Geolocation DKI shortcode.
2. If-So tracks the browser session throughout the user's visit, so if the user navigates through multiple pages within the same visit, only one session will be counted.

Absolutely! You have the flexibility to upgrade your existing license at any time. How to upgrade my plan.

The session limit applies to the total number of sessions across all websites where the license is active.

Yes, we do!

When you purchase an annual Geo Super Plan (100,000 monthly sessions), you'll have the ability to easily upgrade your package.

Additional packages of 50,000 monthly sessions are offered at a rate of $12.50 per month on a yearly subscription basis. You have the flexibility to purchase as many packages as you need to meet your specific requirements.

To upgrade your package:

1. Log in to your account.
2. Locate your geolocation license.
3. Click on "Upgrade license."
4. Select the desired package and proceed to the checkout.

our geolocation session count doesn't seem accurate?
This issue is most likely caused by bots visiting your site and consuming your session quota. Learn what you can do.

A geolocation session refers to the period of time starting from when a visitor accesses a page with a geolocation trigger until either the visitor closes the browser or remains inactive for 25 minutes (the duration may slightly vary depending on the user's browser and server hosting the website).

To illustrate, if a visitor lands on the homepage, navigates to multiple other pages, and eventually leaves, this activity will be counted as a single session.

Nope!

A geolocation session will only be counted if a user visits a page with a geolocation-based trigger.

Moreover, if a user visits more than one page containing a geolocation trigger during the same visit, If-So will only count it as one session.

If you deplete your geolocation sessions, If-So will bypass the geolocation condition and evaluate the condition of the subsequent content version. If all dynamic versions have a geolocation condition or if none of the conditions are met, the default version will be displayed.

If you are utilizing our Geolocation DKI shortcodes, you can establish a fallback value to be shown in such instances. Just include the parameter fallback="your-value" to the trigger shortcode.

”your-value”

You can check your monthly session quota in two locations:

1. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to If-So > Geolocation.
2. In your If-So account, go to the License Keys tab and view the License details.

Stay calm and refer to our Geolocation Troubleshooting guide for assistance.

Inaccurate session counts can occur when bots visit the website. Learn about possible solutions to address this issue.

The geolocation service is powered by an IP-to-location API. When a user visits a page with a geolocation condition or DKI shortcode for the first time during their session, a request is sent to the geolocation database to compare the user's IP with the location information stored in the database.

What is a geolocation session?

A geolocation session starts when a visitor first accesses a page with a geolocation trigger or a Geolocation DKI shortcode and lasts until the visitor closes their browser or has been inactive for 25 minutes (note that this time frame may vary slightly depending on the browser and server hosting the website).

Not every page view should count as a session!

1. The geolocation session is initiated only when a visitor accesses a page with a geolocation trigger or a geolocation DKI shortcode, and a request to the IP-to-location API is made to compare the visitor's IP with the location in the database.
2. If the user browses several pages within the same visit, it will still be considered a single session. The session will end when the visitor closes the browser or after 25 minutes of inactivity, though this duration may vary slightly depending on the browser and server.

Troubleshooting inaccurate session counts

If you are experiencing issues with your session count, it could be due to bots visiting your site and using up your session quota.

To identify these bots, If-So offers a log feature that records each geolocation request, including the IP and date and time of the request. By analyzing this log, you can pinpoint the IPs of bots that are causing the issue and block them from the geolocation service (They will still be able to visit the site, but the geolocation service will not be available for them).

Step-by-step: Blocking bots from the geolocation service

1. Download and install our If-So Geolocation Extension.
2. Go to If-So > Settings and check the “Log geolocation requests” checkbox. Checking the option will create a log file that includes the IP and the exact time of each geolocation request.

3. Allow some time for the log file to collect data. After sufficient time has passed (depending on your website traffic), go to the If-So menu in your WordPress dashboard and click on "Analyze Geolocation Request Log".
4. Look for IPs with a large number of geolocation sessions. If you find such IPs, click the "More About this IP" button to gather more information about their source. If you find such IPs, click the "More About this IP" button and try to gather more information regarding their source.
   
   If the IP points to a data center (like Google, Amazon, etc.), it may indicate that it’s a bot.

The example below shows an IP belongs to a data center:

*Please note that enabling the geolocation log file may slow down the loading speed of pages with a geolocation condition. It is recommended to disable the log file after collecting the necessary information.

Blocking an IP Address

If you decide to block certain IP addresses, add the following code to your function.php file, and replace the XX.XX… and YY.YYY… placeholders with the IPs you want to block.

• The code only blocks the IPs from the geolocation functionality, and not from accessing your website.
• Blocked IPs will see the default content version.

add_filter('ifso_exclude_from_geo',function($exclude){ $exclude['ip'] = ['XX.XX.XXX.XXX','YY.YYY.YYY.YYY']; return $exclude; });

Yes, there are two ways to incorporate dynamic content with If-So and Layer Slider.

The first method involves creating an If-So trigger and inserting its shortcode into the slide's content field to add dynamic content to the slide.

The second option is to display different layer sliders to different users. To achieve this, create an If-So trigger with multiple versions, and assign the different layer sliders as the content of each trigger using the sliders' shortcode. However, note that if you choose this approach, you may not be able to load the trigger using Ajax.

Yes. You can use If-So with the ACF plugin.

 Def

The first step is to create an If-So trigger and paste its shortcode inside the custom field. Since Advanced Custom Fields do not render shortcodes by default, next you'll need to add the following filters to your functions.php file.  Please feel free to contact us if you need help with that.

If you'd like to use If-So inside a Text field:
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=teaxt', 'do_shortcode');

If you'd like to use If-So inside a Text Area field:
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=textarea', 'do_shortcode'); 

When the WordPress pagination function is used within an If-So trigger, it does not function properly. The problem arises from the order in which the functions responsible for loading our dynamic content and handling pagination are executed.

Please note that the reverse scenario, which involves applying dynamic content within the paginated content, is indeed possible.

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

Yes, you can.

If the user is logged-in, use our User Details Shortcode

If the user is not logged in, you can transfer the user's name as a value of a query parameter in the URL and use our Query-string Dynamic Keyword Insertion shortcode to display the value.

You can utilize any If-So condition to trigger a conditional pop-up. The pop-up will only appear if any of the specified conditions are met.

The design of the pop-ups can be created either from scratch or based on our selection of pre-built templates, which can be customized to fit your needs.

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.

If-So is a code-free, user-friendly, and powerful WordPress personalization plugin that enables you to deliver personalized content, enhancing your website's engagement, conversion, and sales.

As the most comprehensive and versatile dynamic content plugin available, If-So offers a wide range of methods to create dynamic and customized content, including:

• Dynamic Triggers (for all page builder users)
• Conditional Elementor elements
• Conditional Gutenberg Blocks

And:

• Dynamic Keyword Insertion
• Dynamic content sourced from CSV files

The possibilities for personalization are extensive, with dozens of conditions extensions, and integrations to fine-tune your content delivery.

Nope! Coding skills are not required! Dynamic content can be easily set by selecting a condition from a predefined list and specifying the content to be displayed when the condition is met.

You have the flexibility to customize any part of your site, such as titles, text, images, videos, and even menu items. Dynamic content can generally be applied to any field on your site that accepts shortcodes

Though If-So offers a wide range of possibilities and advanced features, the basic usage of the plugin is very simple:

1. Select a condition from a predefined list
2. Set the content you wish to display if the condition is met (or leave blank if you do not want to display anything).
3. Set the content you wish to display if the condition is not met (or leave blank if you do not want to display anything).
4. Paste the shortcode of the trigger to display dynamic content on your website.

Each subsite will require its own license (or a valid license for multiple domains).

If-So cannot be network-activated. The license will have to be activated separately on each subsite.

If-So provides a diverse range of conditions to choose from, including Geolocation, Google Ads search terms, Dynamic links, Schedule, and many more.

Dynamic content can positively impact SEO success by providing a personalized and engaging user experience.

We have identified certain best practices and potential risks that you should be aware of when it comes to your site's ranking. Learn more.

If-So is a server-side solution. Conditions are checked when a page with dynamic content is loaded, and content is displayed accordingly. Only one version of the content is rendered (loaded).

The content version that search engines will crawl depends on the condition you have set.

Examples:

Geolocation – If you have set a geolocation condition, the version that search engines will crawl depends on the actual location of the search bot that crawls your site.

Returning Visitor – Generally, Google and other search engines crawl the web stateless, i.e., without cookies. Search engines will crawl the version displayed for first-time visitors.

User Role/Logged-in Users – Search engines will crawl the version displayed for users who aren’t logged in.

Dynamic Link / UTM Parameters – By default, search engines treat URLs with query strings as a separate page; both the default version and the dynamic version will be crawled. In most cases, it will be wise to set a canonical so that search engines will treat the two versions as a single page.

In the majority of cases, If-So has a negligible effect on loading speed. However, the impact can vary depending on your server, website structure, and how you utilize the plugin.

To put your worries at ease, we encourage you to take advantage of our free trial and witness firsthand how If-So performs on your website.

Try it on your site!

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 [ifso-show-post id="123"] inside your If-So trigger to display the page content as your dynamic version. See how.

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.

If you are using the SiteOrigin page builder and experience a 500 error after publishing a page that contains an If-So trigger, try disabling the "the_content" filter option on the If-So plugin settings page. This should resolve the issue.

Yes, it does, and it’s extremely simple!

When you create a dynamic trigger with If-So, you will receive a shortcode that you can embed anywhere on your website. Simply paste the shortcode inside a Divi text or code modules.  Every time the page loads, one of the trigger's versions will be displayed based on the condition.

Can I build content with Divi and use it inside If-So?

Yes, you can. Here's how:

1. Build a layout, section, or module inside Divi.
2. Save it to the library
3. Create a new If-So trigger, set a condition, and embed the saved layout using a shortcode.
   
   
   There are several ways to enable the option to embed elements from the library using a shortcode. The most simple one is using a free 3rd-party plugin called Simple Divi Shortcode.

Here are two possible methods you can use to achieve this:

1. Creating a Conditional Gutenberg Block: By defining conditions at the block or group of blocks level, you can control their visibility. The blocks will be displayed only if the specified conditions are met.
2. Setting up a Trigger and Embedding it on a Page: Utilize a sequence of If > Then conditions to determine the content displayed. Based on the defined conditions and their order, a single version of the content will dynamically appear on the page.

Here are two possible methods you can use to achieve this:

1. Creating Conditional Elementor Elements: By defining conditions at the element (or section) level, you can control their visibility. The elements will be displayed only if the specified conditions are met. Learn more.
   
   
2. Setting up a Trigger and Embedding it on a Page: Utilize a sequence of If > Then conditions to determine the content displayed. Based on the defined conditions and their order, a single version of the content will dynamically appear on the page. Learn more.

In certain cases, you may find it necessary or preferable to create your dynamic content using an If-So trigger instead of directly setting the condition at the element level. This approach can be beneficial for the following reasons:

• The specific condition you want to use is only achievable through triggers (such as A/B testing, Schedule, and Start and End date).
• You're interested in utilizing If-So's integrated analytics system
• You want to create a sequence of "If Not" conditions (e.g., If X, then Y; if not, check if Z, etc.)

When you set up a trigger, If-So first checks the condition of the first content version, if it is met, the version is displayed, if not, it checks the condition of the next content version.

You can create as many versions as you want.

The limitation (and the solution)

One limitation of using triggers compared to conditional Elementor elements is that you cannot directly create your content using the Elementor editor within the trigger.

For simple text, images, or titles, you can create them directly inside the trigger editor (WYSIWYG editor). The content will automatically adopt the styling of the surrounding element on your page.

If you need or prefer to create your content using the Elementor builder, you can simply create it on your page, save it as an Elementor template, and then apply the template to the trigger using the template's shortcode.

*The same method works if you want to apply the template to the default content field of another element.

Step-by-step, creating a conditional trigger

1. On your WordPress dashboard, go to “If-So → Add New Trigger”.
2. Click on “Select a condition” and select a condition.
3. Paste the shortcode of the Elementor template into the content field of the respective version
4. Repeat the above steps if you want to set up more dynamic versions.
5. Configure a default content that will be displayed if none of the conditions are met.
6. Press “Publish” and place the shortcode on your desired page to display the dynamic content. You can use a text, title, or shortcode element - all will work effectively.

Saving content as an Elementor template and applying it to the trigger

1. Open the page you are editing with Elementor.
2. Create and design the desired section or element.
3. Select the section or element and right-click on the "Edit Section" button.
4. A menu will appear with several options. Choose the "Save as Template" option.
5. Provide a suitable name for your template and save it.

Obtaining the Template's Shortcode

Elementor Pro users: On your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to "Templates" and select "Saved Templates", then Locate the desired template and copy its shortcode.

Free (Elementor) version users: Search for a free third-party plugin, such as Piotnet, that offers similar functionality.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does. All the functionality and conditions included in the free version will also work with the Elementor integration (click here for a list of the free vs. pro features).

Some Elementor Elements (basically, those using javascript) might not work as expected while If-So’s Page Caching Compatibility option is enabled. The elements are applied as part of an Elementor Template embedded inside If-So using the template’s shortcode.

Luckily, the fix is simpler than describing the problem 🙂

Simply, paste the code below at the end of your functions.php file.

wp_register_script( 'ifso-dummy-enqueue-to-attach-to', '',); wp_enqueue_script( 'ifso-dummy-enqueue-to-attach-to' ); wp_add_inline_script( 'ifso-dummy-enqueue-to-attach-to', " document.addEventListener('ifso_ajax_triggers_loaded',function(){ elementorFrontend.init(); });");

If you are experiencing content duplication at the bottom of the page:

1. Access your WordPress dashboard and navigate to If-So > Settings.
2. Locate the "Apply 'the_content' filter" option and uncheck it.

The Elementor button element does not automatically render shortcodes in the "text" field.

If you wish to include an If-So shortcode within an Elementor button field to display dynamic text on the button, you can add the following code snippet to the end of your functions.php file.

//Elementor button - render shortcode in URL
add_filter('elementor/widget/before_render_content',function($el){
    if($el->get_name()==='button'){
        $link_setting = $el->get_settings('link');
        if(!empty($link_setting)){
            $link_setting['url'] = do_shortcode($link_setting['url']);
        }
        $el->set_settings('link',$link_setting);
    }
});

Yes. Depending on the conditions and functions you choose to use, If-so uses cookies for some of its functionalities.

All the cookies set by If-So are first-party cookies (added directly by your site) and thus will not be affected by the phase-out of third-party cookies.

Cookies will only be used once you use a cookie-based condition or feature. Below are the features and conditions that will use cookies:

We provide two types of licenses: Pro and Geolocation.

• Pro License: Grants you UNLIMITED ACCESS to all conditions and features, except for the geolocation condition, which is limited to 1,000 monthly sessions. A Pro license is NOT REQUIRED if you solely need the geolocation functionality.
  
  
• Geolocation License: If you're exclusively interested in the geolocation service or if your website requires additional geolocation sessions beyond what is included in the Pro license.

With the Pro, Agency, and Enterprise licenses, all the features and options will work forever.

Support and updates are on a yearly subscription basis which renews automatically. If you decide to cancel your subscription, you will still be able to use all the pro features - they will keep working forever, but you will no longer receive updates or support once the license key expires.

No. The only condition limited by monthly sessions is the geolocation condition for which we use a premium IP-to-Location database in order to match the user's IP to their location.

If you're exclusively interested in the geolocation service or if your website requires additional geolocation sessions beyond what is included in the Pro license you can subscribe to one of our geolocation plans.

Yes, you have the flexibility to deactivate a license on one site and activate it on another as many times as needed.

If-So utilizes an IP-to-location database to determine the user's location. You can use the geo data detected by If-So for any purpose by implementing the following code:

require_once(IFSO_PLUGIN_BASE_DIR. 'services/geolocation-service/geolocation-service.class.php');
$geo_data = \IfSo\Services\GeolocationService\GeolocationService::get_instance()->get_user_location();

Keep in mind that IP-to-location services (any service, not just ours) are not always 100% accurate. Learn more about IP-to-location services and how they work.

Yes, you can. Learn more.

If you want to enable Ajax loading for a specific trigger that is embedded directly in the page template using a PHP code, you can use the “echo do_shortcode(‘…’);” function

 <?php echo_shortcode(''); ?>

The only limitation to keep in mind is that the geolocation service will not function properly. This means that dynamic content with geolocation conditions will be treated as if the condition is not met.

If you wish to set location-based content and preview how it will appear to users when the condition is met, you can make use of the "testing mode" button. This feature enables you to force the display of the specified version, giving you a visual representation of the final result on your site.

Do license activations in a local environment count toward the total number of license activations?

Yes, but you have the flexibility to deactivate the license once the development is complete and activate it on another site of your choice.

No IP-to-Location service is 100% accurate. The accuracy of a location depends on many factors, most importantly the ISP of the address. Accuracy is generally higher for fixed lines than it is for cellular networks.

If our service fails to detect your location, please send us an email including your IP and your actual location at support@if-so.com. It usually takes about 72-96 hours for the database to be updated.

You can learn more here about geolocation accuracy.

No, there is no limit to the number of versions you can create. 

Adding new versions is possible by clicking the "add a new version" button right below the last version of your trigger and a new box will appear.

Keep in mind though that  depending on your server and how your site is built, a large number of versions may affect your site it two ways:

1. At some point (usually after creating at least 30 versions), new versions will not be saved after hitting "Update". This can easily be solved by increasing the max_var PHP max input var. Learn more.
2. If you are using a large number of versions, at some point the loading speed of your page will be affected. Usually, around 50 versions, should not be an issue, but regularly checking loading time during the creation of the trigger is a best practice.

If you have a large number of different versions, we highly recommend using our CSV (bulks) extension instead of a dynamic trigger.
