Caching is one of the most common issues when it comes to returning dynamic, geolocation-based content. Geo Controller offers several strategies to solve this:
- First, make sure to Enable Caching – This allows Geo Controller to work together with popular WordPress cache plugins and manage output dynamically.
- Be aware that some caching plugins create static HTML snapshots of your pages and bypass standard PHP execution. This can prevent geo-targeted content from displaying correctly unless handled properly.
Example: Using Shortcode with JavaScript-Based Replacement
To bypass server-side caching, you can enable dynamic rendering with JavaScript by adding the cache attribute inside your shortcode:
[cfgeo return="city" default="Your Default Text" cache]
This will render a <span> tag on the frontend with a JavaScript trigger that updates the geo content after the page is loaded, ensuring accurate data regardless of cached HTML.
Tip: Always test your site with caching enabled and disabled to ensure that dynamic geo content works as expected in all cases.
