[Support request] Show block element on in certain countries

[Max]

Hi there!

I’ve a block element that I want to add to a few pages, but only to visitors from a specific country.

Would this be possible with a setting or some kind of php snippet?

Thanks!

I’ve tried this, but that didn’t work:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    global $post;

    if ( 34988 === $element_id && ( is_page() && $post->post_parent == '34994' ) ) {
        if (geoip_country_code_by_name($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) == 'DE') {
            $display = true;
        }
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

Id of the element = 34988
Page I want to show it on = 34994

Hi Max,

I’m not aware of an easy way to get the user’s geolocation.

It will require custom development or a plugin.

Too bad! I thought it would be possible to make some kind of IF statement to check the country.

Woocommerce has that function built-in, if you are using Woocommerce it might be worth a try to contact their support.

Otherwise, a plugin or custom development will be required.
