Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This plugin basically allows you to have different versions of your site, each one with specific content according to the visitor location.
If your site is mysite.com, and you have created the locations Japan andItaly, when the visitor goes to mysite.com/japan will only see posts which belong to the Japan location, and when they go to mysite.com/italy they will see posts which belong to the Italy location. If they go to mysite.com they will only see posts which are not assigned to a particular location, unless you define a default location. In that case, they will see posts which belong to such location. Note that assigning a post to the default location will make it appear in all locations.
Basically you create location terms, which are like any other WordPress taxonomy (categories or tags), and then, when creating a post you assign that location to that post.
The location manager submenu is located inside the Posts Menu.
Each market has its own home page, which is something likemysite.com/such-location. But, in case you have defined a default location, in that page you will see posts from the specified location mixed with posts from the default location. In case you want to see only a list of posts from the specified location, there is another page which you may see by going to mysite.com/location-slug/such-location. That string,location-slug can be changed by modifying the setting Location Slug.
If you enable the visitor redirection (in the Settings -> Geolocated Content section), the system will attempt to determine which location the visitor is nearer, and it will redirect them there. In order this feature to work you must specify each location latitude and longitude coordinates (that is done when creating a new or editing a new location). This redirection only works if the visitor is not navigating any location (the visitor is browsing mysite.com, not mysite.com/location).
It uses the WordPress public geo API. You can check it out here:https://public-api.wordpress.com/geo/.
The system will always try to redirect the visitor to its nearest location (only if the visitor redirection is enabled). If you specify a tolerance radius, it will only redirect the visitor to its nearest location if they are in a distance no longer that such radius of kilometers from the location.
If you enable this option, it allows to specify a different setting value for a specific location. For example, if some plugin allows you to determine the color of your site background, you can change this color for different locations. Note that this feature may not work in all plugins, it will work in plugins which use the WordPress Settings API for registering their settings.
It should not, or at least not significantly. If well the geolocation process requires communicating with an external API, it only calls it once a day per visitor (the location of the visitor is stored in a cookie). Also, this plugin is compatible with most full page cache plugins, like Batcache or W3 Total Cache, and does not any extra query in front-end requests.
Because pages are not supposed to be listed in a archive page. The idea of this plugin is to filter lists or archives according to the visitor location, not to restrict content.
