详情介绍:
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.
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.
安装:
- Install directly through the WordPress Plugins → Add New screen, or download the zip and upload via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
- Go to Settings → WWSGD to configure your messages and display options.

常见问题:
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.
