Absolutely.

Create a trigger with an A/B Testing condition in order to test up to four variations. To A/B test dynamic content, you'll have to use multiple triggers with conditions being the variations.

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, 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.

Whether you are using a caching plugin or server caching, you can navigate to the plugin settings and enable the "Page Caching Compatibility" option. With the option enabled, dynamic triggers will be rendered in a separate request that will take place after the loading of the cached version.

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

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');
