The City Condition lets you define the city (or cities) from which your visitors should be located from to be able to see your box. You can add some many cities you desire.

Options

In the table below you can see which options are available to setup the City Condition.

Name Description

City Name In this repeater field, you can add one or more city names.

Use Case

The most common use case for the City Condition is when your box contains content which is targetted towards people visiting from a certain city.

Useful Notes

The City Condition uses a special plugin called "Tassos.gr - GeoIP Plugin" which is installed automatically with EngageBox.

Normally, upon new installs, you will be greeted with a notice from within EngageBox that you need to update the GeoIP Database so that the City, Region, Country and the Continent Conditions would work with the latest data as you can see below.

geoip-update-database

In that case, just click the button "Update Database" and within a few seconds the notice will disappear until the next time it needs updating.

Alternatively, you can go the plugin's options as well and update the database from there anytime you see fit as you can see from the screenshot below.

geoip-plugin-settings

On top of that, you can also check directly the data which is related to a certain IP Address to check if everything works as it should be.
