  • The user is, or is not, from a specific country
  • When a certain amount of time has passed
  • The type of device used to access the site
  • If it is a particular time of day

Location Targeting

Device Targeting

Target content blocks towards visitors using a specific device. For example you could choose to show content relevant to iOS users when they are visiting your website.

Custom Dates & Times

Choose to show/hide content blocks during a particular date range or on specific dates/times, for example during a promotional sale period or to showcase opening hours.

Frequently asked questions

PersonalizeWP is a WordPress plugin designed to add personalisation features and options.

It follows similar principles to Enterprise platforms such as Episerver/Optimizely and Sitecore and works in conjunction with the Gutenberg block editor to provide a simple and clear pathway to this functionality for content authors and admins.
You can use PersonalizeWP to personalise content to your users, based on actions that they have taken, or criteria such as which countries they are accessing your site from.

You can add your own rules, based on a set of conditions, and then apply those to any blocks you wish.

Available rules out of the box include the ability to show or hide blocks if:

  • The user is logged in or not

  • The user is, or is not, from a specific country

  • When a certain amount of time has passed

  • The user is new to the site or is returning

  • Users are using a mobile, tablet or desktop device

  • A user is visiting at a specific time or period of the day

Once you have the plugin installed and activated, a PersonalizeWP option will appear in the Block Settings sidebar in the Gutenberg Editor when you are editing a block. Within this, you will be given the choice to choose a rule and determine an action if that rule is met.

For instance, you may wish to add a content block with a message that is only shown to the user if they come from a particular country, or if they have purchased a product from your store. Feel free to play around and let us know if you think what more we could add as default rules out of the box.
The actions you can take when a rule is met, are currently limited to Show or Hide a block. However, we will be adding new actions in a future release.

The plugin does not work with the Classic Block – which is due to be deprecated. You can use the Convert to Blocks feature to transform the Classic Block into independent Gutenberg blocks, which you can then use to take advantage of PersonalizeWP.
We will always have a free version of the plugin, but in the future, it is likely that we will add a Pro version which will offer additional features.

At this stage, we cannot tell you what these features will be or how much it will cost, but anything included in the Free version of the plugin will be free forever.

We have an internal roadmap that we are using to develop new features – including additional rules, A-B Testing, profile scoring features, and integration with other plugins and commercial platforms.
We will also be developing new conditions and pre-built rules and exploring how we can provide detailed reporting. If you have any suggestions on what we should consider adding, please feel free to get in touch using the details in the Support and Feedback section below.
