Write several versions of a section once, and let the page show a different one over time.<\/p>\n\n
A testimonial that changes every week. A hero message that rotates each month. A call to action\nthat differs every day. You write the variations in the block editor, choose how often they\nchange, and the page takes it from there.<\/p>\n\n
How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Add a Cycle<\/strong> block, then add a variation inside it for each version you want. Anything can go\nin a variation \u2014 headings, images, buttons, columns, other blocks. Pick an interval, and that is\nthe whole setup.<\/p>\n\n Rendered on the server, which matters more than it sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The variation is chosen before the page is sent to the browser. Only one is ever in the HTML.<\/p>\n\n Built to behave<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This plugin contacts GhostLabs' licensing service in exactly one situation: when you start the\nupgrade to Cycle Block Pro from the settings screen \u2014 by submitting a license key, or by clicking\n\"Complete upgrade\" after a purchase. It sends the license key you entered (or the one-time claim\ntoken from your purchase), this site's domain name, the plugin's slug and the edition being\nrequested, so the service can verify the license and deliver the Cycle Block Pro package. Nothing is sent on any other page\nload, and nothing is ever sent without that explicit action.<\/p>\n\n The service is operated by GhostLabs. Terms of service<\/a> \u00b7\nPrivacy policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n The plugin's compiled JavaScript is built from readable sources, and both are published\ntogether at:<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/github.com\/theghostlab\/wp-ghostlabs-cycle-block-lite<\/p>\n\n That repository contains this plugin exactly as distributed, plus the uncompiled Each block keeps a queue. When enough time has passed for the interval you chose, the next\nvariation in the queue is handed out and the queue moves on. With shuffle on, the queue is\nreshuffled at the start of each pass, so every variation appears once before any repeats.<\/p><\/dd>\n The block moves on by one variation, not by however many intervals were missed. A page nobody\nvisited for a month does not skip a month's worth of content the next time someone arrives.<\/p><\/dd>\n This is the one thing worth checking. A full-page cache stores the finished HTML, chosen\nvariation included, so the rotation effectively runs at your cache's expiry rather than at the\ninterval you set.<\/p>\n\n If your cache lifetime is shorter than your interval \u2014 a daily cache with a weekly rotation, for\nexample \u2014 everything behaves as expected. If it is longer, either shorten the cache lifetime for\nthose pages or lengthen the interval to match.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. A variation is an ordinary block container, so it can hold headings, paragraphs, images,\nbuttons, columns, groups, and blocks from other plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n Every variation shows, one after another, as ordinary content. Nothing is lost and nothing\nbreaks \u2014 your content was never stored anywhere but in the post itself.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n

How does it decide which variation to show?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
What happens if nobody visits for a while?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
I use a caching plugin. Will variations still rotate?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does it work with any block?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
What happens to my page if the plugin is deactivated?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
