AJAX, JS, & Cached Pages

Currently AJAX needs JS coding, yes. It is planned that in the longterm if AJAX is enabled, the shortcodes are rendered client-side via AJAX but it will take some work until all shortcode parameters are supported. So maybe your developer could start working on this shortcode support with the parameters you need and contribute it to the plugin? I would be happy to assist, but I know I won’t be able to do it on my own in the next months.

We’re working through it, but our solution would likely need to be custom to our site. Caching has been a huge issue and we’re still trying to get this to fire correctly via ajax/JS. You can likely close this ticket for now, will check in again if anything is needed. thanks

Any idea when this might be implemented? We are running into the same issue since a client site using your plugin is on Cloudways. I have to disable Varnish so it works normally.

Also, will this require custom coding when it’s out of beta? Our use case for your plugin is on a 3 sites multisite network. One is for English Canada, one for Quebec (French) and one for he US. Unless a site visitor selects a language manually (we have links in a menu) I redirect them to the most appropriate site based on IP with a PHP function based on your plugin in my child theme.

I’m far less comfortable with JavaScript so any pointers on reproducing the code below would be great.

Thanks!

This will require custom coding, yes – mainly because I have no idea how a simple yet powerful way of configuring this would look like. Have you tried looking for other GeoIP plugins, there are some paid ones which have some redirect options …
