View Product Page

Select the country from which IPs have to be redirected

Each rule has to be associated with a country: this means that only to users from the specified country will be redirected to the new destination URL.

Select country

It works the other way round if you check the option Country Excluded.

Exclude the country

If this option is enabled, users coming from everywhere but the selected country will be redirected. In the above screenshot, everyone will be redirected except for Italian IPs.

How to set up origin and destination URL on redirects

Select the origin page for the redirect rule in question.

Select origin to associate to the rule

You can make a redirect on:

  • the whole website (it is also possible to redirect to different domains)
  • a custom URL (regular expressions included)
  • pages
  • posts
  • product pages
  • category pages
  • tag pages

Users can either be redirected to any page of your site or to a custom URL.

In the latter case, you can use the placeholder %path%, which allows you to retrieve the origin URL dynamically.

Let’s make an example to better understand.

I want that all Italian users landing to mysite.com are redirected to mysite.com/it

I will set up my rule as follows:

  • Origin URL: entire website
  • Destination URL:  %path%/it (this way, we will simply add “/it” to the URL that has been dynamically retrieved through the placeholder)

How to redirect users only the first time

On this page, you can read how to use the option “First time redirect” on the rule.

First time redirect

When users visit a certain page for the first time, a cookie is activated on their browser and they are redirected according to the rule settings.

From that moment until the cookie expires, if those users come to visit the same page again, they will not be affected by the redirect.

The cookie duration can be changed in the “Settings” tab in the plugin settings panel.
