<p>GET params is a plugin providing your pages and posts with shortcodes allowing you to display GET parameters from<br />
the current URL in pages and posts, or show/hide content depending on GET param values.</p>
<p>As an example, I use this plugin so that I can show personalized installation instructions to users of another piece of<br />
software I wrote, simply by directing them to a URL on my WordPress site, along with GET variables chosen to<br />
ensure that custom fields and sections display exactly as required for them to install my software.</p>
<p><strong>See FAQ if you are having problems under WordPress 4.2.3</strong></p>
<p>Examples follow, assuming the user goes to your post page http://example.com/post/3/?paramname=showme</p>
<h4>Displaying GET parameters directly</h4>
<pre><code> [display-get-param name="paramname"]
</code></pre>
<p>Shows the value of GET named paramname (‘showme’ in the example URL), or “blank value” if none given.</p>
<pre><code> [display-get-param name="paramname" default="Paramname was blank"]
</code></pre>
<p>Shows the value of GET named paramname, or “Paramname was blank” if none</p>
<h4>Controlling display of enclosed content depending on GET parameter values</h4>
<pre><code> [display-if-get name="myparam"]

This enclosed content only shows if myparam is passed as a GET param (with any value)

 [/display-if-get]
</code></pre>
<p>Another example specifying a value to match:</p>
<pre><code> [display-if-get name="myparam" value="true"]

This content only shows if myparam is passed as a GET param and equals "true"

 [/display-if-get]
</code></pre>
<h4>Inverting the criteria</h4>
<p>The plugin also contains an opposite to display-if-get, called display-if-not-get.</p>
<p>display-if-not-get content will display only in all cases where display-if-get with the same parameters would NOT show.</p>
<p>This means that display-if-not-get content will also show if the named parameter does not exist at all in the URL query string.</p>
<h4>If/else blocks</h4>
<p>This is essentially possible by using a combination of display-if-get and display-if-not-get with the same parameters.</p>
<pre><code> [display-if-get name="opt" value="1"]

You chose option 1 - URL contains /?opt=1.

 [/display-if-get]

 [display-if-not-get name="opt" value="1"]

You chose an option that is not option 1.

 [/display-if-not-get]
</code></pre>
