The Insertr

The Insertr allows marketers and site owners to dynamically insert words and phrases into landing pages. Control your parameters using a shortcode and simple query string in the page URL. A fallback can be entered for cases where the URL does not contain the expected query string. Options are available for uppercase, lowercase and title case text. Works with the block editor (Gutenberg), classic editor, and ACF shortcode fields. Use the Insertr block in Gutenberg or the [insertr] shortcode anywhere shortcodes are processed.

You can download the latest release as a .zip then head over to your site to install this manually. Once this plugin has been approved on the WordPress marketplace we will update the repository with a link.
