Dynamic Location Info

Dynamically change contact details, footer paragraph, SEO meta, and Elementor section blocks per Service Location + Service Page using ACF, Elementor, and Rank Math.

This plugin is designed for sites that use location-scoped URLs like:

• /{location-slug}/contact-us/
• /{location-slug}/{service-slug}/

…and want content + SEO to change based on the active location.

Features

Location context (Session)

• Stores the active location in a session (dli_location_id) while browsing location-wise pages.
• Automatically updates location context when viewing a service-location single page.

Dynamic shortcodes (Location fields)

Use these in Elementor or any editor:

• [dynamic_address]
• [dynamic_email]
• [dynamic_phone]
• [dynamic_social_icons]
• [dynamic_ghl_form]
• [dynamic_footer_paragraph]
  • Optional: [dynamic_footer_paragraph fallback="Your default footer text"]

Phase 1: Rank Math SEO overrides (per Location + Service)

On location-scoped service URLs only, the plugin can override:

• Meta title (ACF: meta_title)
• Meta description (ACF: meta_description)
• JSON-LD schema injection (ACF: schema_jsonld — raw JSON only)

Phase 1: Elementor text overrides (with default fallback)

Use shortcodes in Elementor widgets:

• [dli_text key="custom_h1" fallback="Default H1"]
• [dli_text key="tree_care_h2" fallback="Default H2"]
• [dli_text key="intro_h2" fallback="Default H2"]

If no override value exists, the fallback text is displayed.

Phase 2: Slot-based Elementor Template rendering (ACF Free friendly)

Render Elementor templates into named slots:

• [dli_section slot="when_call_arborist"]
• [dli_section slot="why_choose_arborist" default_template="123"]

Supports:

• Multiple templates per slot (ordered by priority)
• Default template fallback via default_template=...
• No ACF Pro repeater required (uses a dedicated CPT instead)

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 7.4+
• ACF (required)
• Elementor (required for template/slot rendering)
• Rank Math (optional — only needed for SEO overrides)

Installation

1. Upload the plugin folder to wp-content/plugins/ (or install ZIP from WP Admin).
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes (flush rewrite rules once).

Setup

A) Location CPT fields (Service Location)

Your location CPT should be service-location (or equivalent).

Add these ACF fields to the location post type:

• location_address
• location_email
• location_phone_number
• location_ghl_form (optional)
• location_footer_paragraph

B) Location + Service SEO overrides (CPT: location-service-seo)

Create/keep a CPT where each post represents one Location + Service pair.

Required mapping fields (ACF Post Object fields, return ID):

• location → service-location
• service_page → WordPress Page

SEO fields:

• meta_title
• meta_description
• schema_jsonld (raw JSON only)

Optional text override fields (examples):

• custom_h1
• tree_care_h2
• intro_h2

Use them in Elementor via [dli_text key="FIELD_NAME" fallback="..."].

C) Phase 2 blocks (CPT key: loc-svc-block)

The plugin registers a CPT key: loc-svc-block

Create an ACF Field Group for post type loc-svc-block with:

• location (Post Object → service-location, return ID)
• service_page (Post Object → Page, return ID)
• slot (Text)
• template (Post Object → elementor_library, return ID)
• priority (Number: 10, 20, 30...)

Elementor usage Place slots in your service page where content may vary:

• [dli_section slot="when_call_arborist"]
• [dli_section slot="why_choose_arborist" default_template="123"]

To override for a location, create loc-svc-block posts that target the location + service page + slot.

Slot naming guide (important)

Use generic slot names (not location-specific), e.g.:

• when_call_arborist
• why_choose_arborist

Avoid:

• when_call_binghamton_arborist
  Slot names should be reusable across all locations.

Development notes

• After changing service slugs used in localized URLs, flush permalinks again.
• If page cache is active (WP cache / Cloudflare), purge cache when testing dynamic location changes.
