Setup WordPress Country Selector Plugin
Settings Panel
First you should make sure you can see the country selector settings. If you can not see the menu on the right image please make sure you have installed the Redux Framework plugin.
General Settings
The general country selector settings allow you to enable the plugin. Then you can set a cookie lifetime (e.g. 60 Days), before the popup occurs to your visitors again. Set this to 0 (zero) and it will occur every time.
After that you can set a default country URL (e.g. your international site). When you enable the force redirect option, visitors will automatically be redirected to the correct country site. Here you can also set a time in seconds when the redirect should happen.
Last option allows you to display your country selector page inside a modal when somebody clicks the Country Selector widget.
Enable Continents
Enable or disable continents in these section. These will show in the country selector page if you have enabled them.
Set your Countries
In the countries panel you can set your country URL for each country. Countries are divided by continents. So if you have a URL called “http://www.example.com/de/” then place this into the German country field. Or also into the Austria + Switzerland field if this applies to all German speaking visitors.
Country Selector Page Settings
The country selector page shows off all your countries you have set before. Create page and place this shortcode there [wordpress_country_selector]. Then you should set this page URL into the settings.After this you can also set some styles for the page (next to each other style, list style or dropdown). Beside the general style you can choose if you want to show flags and what flag style (simple or circle like apple). And you can choose if you want to show a mini country map in front of the country.
Popup / Modal Settings
In the popup settings you can enable / disable the modal. Then you can apply some styles like the popup style (header = 100% width), modal size, text & background color.
Advanced Settings
Add custom CSS and disable Bootstrap if you have theme breaking problems.

Hi there,
what do you think it would happen? Or what are you expecting? Have you enabled the plugin in settings menu?
Hi there. The popup modal to select the country doesn’t seem to work on my client’s website. Any idea what may be the issue? “Enable the Country Selector.” is enabled on the settings page of “WordPress Country Selector”.
I have the same exact settings as on your setup above.
Hello, I have the same issue with the settings menu, it does not appears on my WP Panel, I have installed the redux framework and is is activated, but I cannot see the menu

How could I solve the problem to configure the plugin in my site
Suddenly the Modal has started opening on other pages than then home page even after selecting the country on homepage Modal Pop up.
The Next Pop up allows the the pop to be ignored by clicking outside and it disappears and then does not bother. But until then…

What you mean with drop? Like a dropdown menu? Yes you can use our shortcodes for this.
Is it possible to show popup only for two countries?
Yes of course you can set only 2 countries.
But from where i can set this? i Didn’t find such options in setting.
In countries settings.
How can i erase “Americas” and also center the countries at the middle of the text box?

You need to make sure your site URL is 1:1 exactly the same as in our plugin settings. So https://www.example.com should be https://www.example.com, and NOT: https://example.com (www removed) or https://www.example.com/ (trailing slash)
Hello,
We use your plugin for our site but we customized it a little bit for our needs.
Is there any possibility to detect the visitors country and pre-select it in a the drop down menu.
You can see how it is now on this link https://www.maestoso-design.com/?lang=en
Thank you very much.
Have a great day,
Alex
Your site gives us a too many redirect error. But we do not support 3rd party customizations by default. Only on charge.

Hi, great plugin! I’m trying to remove all the flags from the modal. How can I do this?
Your demo does not have flag next to ‘Visit International’ text – how do you do this? I also want to remove flag from ‘Stay at International’ section on modal. I.e. no flags at all!
How can I do this?
Hope you can help! Thanks

Hello, kindly can I know if this plugin works with flatsome theme ?
We use the flatsome theme for all our demos. So definitely yes!
Oh great ! But as U know, flatsome theme uses ux builder, is it necessary to upload Redux Framework plugin ?
Redux is no longer required – you only need our welaunch plugin.
Is there a variable I can add to my site URL to test the pop-up? I recently updated the plugin and the pop-up is not appearing for people in other countries.
Yes, you can just append ?country=debug to your URL.
