Unfortunately, it’s not possible with this plugin. The closest it can do is to redirect visitors who are not logged in.
It’s an interesting question, so I looked into it. The difficulty is, there is not a reliable method for distinguishing first-time and returning visitors.
Here is a plugin which shows a message for first-time visitors: What would Seth Godin do
It stores the visit status in a cookie. The problem with this is that cookies can expire over time, and be disabled/deleted by the user.
Thank you Eliot. Not quite what I was looking (hoping) for. I’ll re-think how I want to offer different landing pages for new and returning visitors.
I didn’t find a plugin but I found this bit of code that I put in header.php that does the trick
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['been_here'])){
$two_months = 60 * 60 * 24 * 60 + time();
setcookie('been_here', true, $two_months);
header('Location: /a-r-k.us/us/sample-page/');
//change /a-r-k.us/us/sample-page to your desired location for 1st timers
}
?>
