Have you ever changed your phone number and then had to hunt through twenty pages to update it? Global Variables Manager fixes that. You type each piece of information once<\/strong>, on one screen. Everywhere that information appears on your site updates by itself.<\/p>\n\n How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n That is all. Change the value later and every page follows.<\/p>\n\n Links are built for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Phone, WhatsApp, email and address variables also create ready-made links automatically, so you never type These are never stored. They are worked out from the value you saved, so there is only ever one place to change.<\/p>\n\n This plugin does not send any data anywhere and makes no requests to outside services.<\/p>\n\n The automatically generated links point to third-party sites, but only when a visitor clicks them: WhatsApp ( Manual install: upload the Add the shortcode where you want it, for example In a theme file, use Set the variable's type to Phone<\/strong>. Then, in an Elementor Link field, click the dynamic tags icon, choose Site \u2192 Global Variable<\/strong> and pick the \"(auto)\" entry for the phone link. In a theme file, use For a variable with the key Yes. Create a variable with the key Numbers without a country code are assumed to be UK (+44). Add a variable with the key Yes. On a text field or a Link field, click the dynamic tags icon and choose Site \u2192 Global Variable<\/strong>, then pick the variable. Elementor is not required. Without it the plugin still works with shortcodes and PHP.<\/p><\/dd>\n The shortcode works in the Shortcode block, in Paragraph blocks and in most text areas that process shortcodes. There is no dedicated block.<\/p><\/dd>\n The key does not exist (check spelling and that it is lowercase), or the value is empty. A missing key prints nothing rather than an error.<\/p><\/dd>\n The shortcode simply prints nothing. Nothing breaks, but the text will be missing until you add the variable back.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Values are stored as plain text and shown as plain text, so HTML tags do not work. Textarea and Address values keep their line breaks.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Visitors can see any variable that is shown on a page, and anyone who can write posts can print any variable using the shortcode. Use it for public information only.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default nothing is deleted. To remove everything when you delete the plugin, tick Delete all variables and settings when the plugin is deleted<\/strong> on the settings screen and save before deleting.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Each site has its own variables, managed by that site's administrators.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Variables live in one WordPress option that is loaded with the rest of your settings, and the plugin makes no extra database queries or web requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n

How do I show a variable on a page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
[gvmgr key=\"phone_number\"]<\/code>. The key is shown in the Shortcode<\/strong> column of the Global Variables screen.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow do I use a variable in my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
<?php echo gvmgr_get_variable( 'phone_number' ); ?><\/code>. The value is already escaped, so it is safe to echo directly.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow do I make a clickable phone number?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
<a href=\"<?php echo esc_url( gvmgr_get_variable( 'phone_number_link' ) ); ?>\"><\/code>. Shortcodes are not reliably processed inside link fields of the block editor, so the shortcode is best for visible text.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat keys are generated automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
phone_number<\/code>, the plugin creates phone_number_e164<\/code> and phone_number_link<\/code>. WhatsApp creates _link<\/code> and _display<\/code>. Email creates _link<\/code>. Address creates _one_line<\/code>, _maps_link<\/code> and _directions_link<\/code>. The Built automatically<\/strong> table on the settings screen lists every one with its current value.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I pre-fill a WhatsApp message?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
whatsapp_message<\/code> (a Textarea works well). It is added to the WhatsApp link. To use a different message for one number, create a variable named after that number's key with _message<\/code> on the end, for example sales_whatsapp_message<\/code> for sales_whatsapp<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\nMy phone number link has the wrong country code.<\/h3><\/dt>\n
country_code<\/code> and a value such as 1<\/code> or 61<\/code>. You can also type the number with a plus sign, such as +1 555 010 9999, and it is used as it is.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it work with Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
