The ultimate solution for advanced display conditions and Geolocation - easy to use with Elementor, Gutenberg, and all page builders.
== Description ==
Looking for a simple yet powerful display conditions or visibility control solution (that actually works with page caching)?
**If-So** is the premier conditional logic and personalization plugin for WordPress. It lets you dynamically show, hide, or swap content based on who your visitor is, where they are located, and how they interact with your site. While generic visibility add-ons break under strict server caching or force you to exclude pages from your cache, If-So is built from the ground up to deliver fast, cache-immune marketing automation across all page builders.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How is If-So different from basic Elementor visibility add-ons? =
Most Elementor add-ons simply use CSS to hide elements, meaning the code still loads behind the scenes, and server-side caching will often display the wrong version to the wrong user. If-So uses an optimized rendering architecture that completely bypasses static page-cache limits while maintaining blazing-fast performance.
= How accurate is the Geolocation tracking? =
Extremely accurate. We use a premium, regularly updated IP-to-location database to ensure your visitors are correctly matched to their precise country, state, or city across global networks.
= Can I use If-So with any WordPress theme? =
Yes. If-So operates independently of your theme architecture. It works flawlessly across all standard-compliant WordPress themes and custom setups.
