<p>This plugin provides a simple way of displaying up-to-date information about specific plugins hosted on the WordPress Plugin Directory in your blog posts and pages. It is intended for plugin authors who want to display details of their own plugins from the WP Plugin Directory on their blog and want those details to remain up to date. It’s also useful for bloggers who may blog about plugins and would like the details in their blog posts to remain up to date.</p>
<p>This plugin uses WordPress shortcodes so it’s easy to include any information about a particular plugin in your post or page.</p>
<h4>Er, what?</h4>
<p>You want to blog about a particular plugin on your blog and include various details of it in your blog post (eg. the number of downloads or the last updated date). You could manually type this information into your post but this means that in a few days/weeks/months’ time the information will be out of date.</p>
<p>This plugin allows you to use shortcodes in your blog posts and pages which periodically fetches this information from the WordPress Plugin Directory, therefore ensuring the information always remains up to date.</p>
<h4>Here’s an example</h4>
<p>This plugin uses WordPress shortcodes so it’s easy to include any information about a particular plugin in your post or page.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This plugin has been downloaded [plugin downloaded] times!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This will produce the following content in your blog post:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This plugin has been downloaded 1,650 times!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The download count will remain current without you having to touch your blog post again.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Write a new blog post or page, or open an existing post or page for editing.</li>
<li>In the ‘Plugin Info’ box on that screen, type the slug of the plugin (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-info/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screenshot #1</a>). The plugin slug is the last part of the URL of the plugin’s page on wordpress.org.</li>
<li>Add a shortcode to your blog entry like this: <code>[plugin version]</code> and save the post. (That’s the word <code>plugin</code> and not the slug of the plugin).</li>
<li>Take a look at your post and the version number of the plugin will be displayed.</li>
</ol>
<p>For a complete list of all the fields you can display, see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-info/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ page</a>.</p>

<p>Add any information blocks to your WooCommerce store, from product pages to cart and checkout, display tailored messages, product metadata, or store options using dynamic content and shortcodes.</p>
<p>The <strong>Add Custom Messages Anywhere in WooCommerce</strong> plugin allows you to enhance your WooCommerce site by adding customized content or “info blocks” to numerous positions throughout the platform, offering you a straightforward way to enrich your customer’s browsing and shopping experience.</p>
<p>You have the freedom to create multiple info blocks, each with distinctive content, positioning, and visibility settings, to tailor the shopping experience to suit your business strategy precisely.</p>
<p>Whether it’s spotlighting promotional offers or displaying static reassuring messages like money-back guarantees, the plugin provides an extensive range of positions to place these info blocks, from general settings to specific locations within product tabs. This allows for strategic placement of valuable information where it will have the highest impact.</p>
<h3>🚀 Dynamically Show Content Across Your Store</h3>
<p>Create & manage custom information blocks/sections within your WooCommerce store, craft and strategically place various types of information – whether promotional messages, special guarantees, or product-related details – across multiple locations in your store.</p>
<p>This feature empowers you to enhance the shopping experience by providing relevant and timely information at key points in the customer journey, such as near product prices, within cart and checkout pages, and on order confirmation screens.</p>
<h3>🚀 Customizable Text Blocks for Promotions and Information</h3>
<p>Easily add static text blocks, like a “30 days money return guarantee”, “Excellent customer service”, “24/7 chat support” to product pages or global store areas.</p>
<p>This feature is ideal for highlighting special offers or important information across your store.</p>
<h3>🚀 Add Info About Product Sales and Metadata</h3>
<p>Use the <code>[alg_wc_ib_get_post_meta]</code> shortcode to display product-related metadata like total sales numbers.</p>
<p>This option allows you to offer important info to customers during their purchase journey, enhancing product credibility and transparency.</p>
<h3>🚀 Flexible Position/Priority Options</h3>
<p>Control where the blocks appear by defining the position and priority for each, the plugin offers a wide range of positioning options for info blocks.</p>
<p>Select to show blocks on various positions, from before product prices to cart and checkout pages, ensuring that your messages are seen at the most impactful points in the customer journey.</p>
<h3>🚀 Utilization of Shortcodes for Extended Functionality</h3>
<p>Leverage shortcodes like <code>[alg_wc_ib_get_option]</code> to display site options (like an email) or product meta values (like an image or price), adding a layer of dynamic content to your store’s info blocks.</p>
<h3>ℹ How Does It Work?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create a new info block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New” from your admin dashboard.</li>
<li>For this newly created block, you must set: title (visible to admin only), content, and position.</li>
<li>Optionally, you can set visibility options (e.g., show info block for selected products only).</li>
<li>You can create as many different info blocks as you need. Each block will have its own content, position, visibility, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3>✅ Usage Example #1</h3>
<p>Add static text (e.g.: “30 days money return guarantee!”) after “Add to cart” button for all products.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add new block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New”</li>
<li>Set block’s content to <code>30 days money return guarantee!</code></li>
<li>Set block’s position to <code>Single product: Inside single product summary</code> and position’s priority to <code>39</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>✅ Usage Example #2</h3>
<p>Add total sales number to the frontend meta section for all products.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add new block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New”</li>
<li>Set block’s content to <code>Total sales: [alg_wc_ib_get_post_meta key="total_sales"]</code></li>
<li>Set block’s position to <code>Single product: Product meta end</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>✅ Usage Example #3</h3>
<p>Add static text (e.g.: “Free shipping for all orders over $35!”) to cart and checkout pages.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add new block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New”</li>
<li>Set block’s content to <code>Free shipping for all orders over $35!</code></li>
<li>Set block’s positions to <code>Cart: Before cart table</code> and <code>Checkout: Before order review</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>✅ Usage Example #4</h3>
<p>Add static text (e.g.: “Only today: “) before the price for all products.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add new block via “WooCommerce > Info Blocks > Add New”</li>
<li>Set block’s content to <code>Only today:&nbsp;</code> (<code>&nbsp;</code> is a “non-breaking space” symbol)</li>
