## Opis

**What Would Seth Godin Do** lets you greet first-time visitors with a tailored 
welcome message — like an invitation to subscribe to your RSS feed — and show a 
different (or no) message to people who have already been to your site before.

The plugin stores a small cookie that counts how many times a visitor has been to
your site. While the count is at or below the „# of Repetitions” threshold you configure,
the _new visitor_ message is shown. Once the visitor exceeds that threshold, the
_return visitor_ message appears instead.

Inspired by Seth Godin’s 2006 blog post: […in the middle, Starting](https://seths.blog/2006/08/in_the_middle_s/).

**Features:**

 * Separate, fully customisable messages for new and returning visitors.
 * Configurable repetition threshold — choose how many visits count as „new”.
 * Choose whether messages appear before or after post content, or only where you
   place the `<?php wwsgd_the_message(); ?>` template tag.
 * Option to show or hide messages on Pages (vs. Posts only).
 * Exclude specific post or page IDs from showing any message.
 * No external dependencies; lightweight vanilla JavaScript.

## Instalacja

 1. Install directly through the WordPress **Plugins  Add New** screen, or download
    the zip and upload via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings  WWSGD** to configure your messages and display options.

## Najczęściej zadawane pytania

### How does the plugin know if someone is a new or returning visitor?

It sets a cookie called `wwsgd_visits` that increments by 1 on each page load. Visitors
whose count is at or below your configured „# of Repetitions” see the new-visitor
message; everyone else sees the return-visitor message.

### Will this work if a visitor deletes their cookies?

Yes — if the cookie is deleted the visitor will simply be treated as new again.

### Can I use the message in a widget or template file instead of automatic insertion?

Yes. Set **Location of Message** to „Only where I use the template tag” and place`
<?php wwsgd_the_message(); ?>` wherever you want the messages to appear in your 
theme.

### Can I show a message to returning visitors only and nothing to new visitors?

Yes. Leave the **Message to New Visitors** field blank. New visitors will see nothing;
return visitors will see your return-visitor message.

### Does WWSGD work with pages as well as posts?

By default, yes. You can restrict it to posts only via the **Show Message on Pages?**
setting.

I've been using this plugin for years and LOVE being able to automate a call to 
action on every post. Recently when migrating to new hosting I ran into an issue
with the plugin, and Richard (the creator of the plugin) went above and beyond to
help me. Thank you!!!
