Targeting Parameters

  • Location: Target by country (e.g., location="US").
  • Device: Target by device type (e.g., device="mobile" or device="desktop").
  • Language: Target by language (e.g., language="en").

Example Shortcodes

  1. Country-Specific Content:
   [target_audience location="FR"]Bonjour! Welcome to our site in French.[/target_audience]
  1. Device-Specific Content:
   [target_audience device="mobile"]Check out our mobile-friendly content![/target_audience]
  1. Multi-Condition Targeting:

Wrapping Content

Place any HTML, text, or images between shortcode tags to restrict visibility based on the conditions you set.


5. Security and Data Protection

Data Protection Measures

  • Shortcode Security: Shortcodes are processed server-side to prevent unauthorized access or manipulation.

General Security Precautions

  • Regularly update the plugin to the latest version to ensure compatibility and security.
  • Limit access to the admin panel to authorized personnel to prevent misconfiguration.
