How to Disable Call-to-actions for Subscribers?

I am sure many of you must have come across situations when you felt like disabling a call-to-action or a set of call-to-action for a particular user/users.

This is made possible with Convert Pro now!

With Convert Pro version 1.2.2 onwards, you can add the cph parameter to the URL, with the value to determine the call-to-actions you wish to hide. This URL can be shared with the users you want to hide the call-to-actions from.

Lets say for example, you are running a campaign to introduce a new product added on your website. You have created a popup that displays a discount for first-time buyers (and you do not want to show it to your existing customers). You can hide this!

Let us take a look at a few scenarios you would want to use this for.

Hide all Convert Pro call-to-actions

Add ?cph=0 after the URL.

For eg: If your website is http://example.com/

You will need to alter it to http://example.com/?cph=0

———————————————————————————————-

Hide a particular call-to-action created using Convert Pro

Add ?cph=ID after the URL. (Refer here to know how to find the ID)

For eg: If your website is http://example.com/

You will need to alter it to http://example.com/?cph=959 (where 959 is the ID)

———————————————————————————————-

Hide a set of call-to-actions created using Convert Pro

Add ?cph=ID1,ID2,ID3 after the URL. You can add as many IDs as you want separated by a comma. (Refer here to know how to find the ID)

For eg: If your website is http://example.com/

You will need to alter it to http://example.com/?cph=959,567,990 (where 959, 567, 990 are the IDs)

———————————————————————————————-

The altered URLs are the ones that you need to share with the existing users or those from whom you wish to hide a call-to-action/call-to-actions from.

Note:

• You need to make sure that you’ve enabled cookies for the particular call-to-action you are hiding. (irrespective of the values you’ve entered for after submission and after closing actions) Screenshot
• By default we have set a cookie that will be applicable for 30 days when you use this feature. This means that the call-to-actions will remain hidden for 30 days when the user comes through such a URL.
• In case you are using individual ID’s to hide call-to-actions, and you disable cookies (of a particular call-to-action or call-to-actions) anytime within 30 days the particular call-to-action or call-to-actions will be shown again to all the users irrespective of their behavior on it before. However, in case of the global parameter cph=0, all the call-to-actions created using Convert Pro will remain hidden for 30 days from a user who has arrived through a URL with that parameter.
• In order to change the number of days, you’ll need to use the following filter. Add this to your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file
• The call-to-actions on the entire website will be hidden from that user.

/**
 * Callback function to change number of days to hide popup from subscribers passed by URL
 *
 * @param int $number_of_days
 * @return int $number_of_days
 */
function your_callback_function( $number_of_days ) {
if( $number_of_days ) {
$number_of_days = 45;
// Replace default 30 days with your desired number of days
}
return $number_of_days;
}
add_filter( 'cpro_set_url_cookie_for_subscribers', 'your_callback_function', 10, 1 );

IMP: If you want to change the cookie period, make sure you add this filter first before sharing a URL with any user. This will make sure that your updated number of days is considered when a user visits through the URL.

Open Convert Pro dashboard and click on the info icon seen under the Insight column in line with the call-to-action name.

You’ll find the ID as highlighted in the screenshot below.

You can also see the ID in the URL when you open the particular call-to-action in the editor. Refer screenshot.
