Lucky Wheel for WooCommerce Documentation

Where it shows asks the question the way people answer it: tick the broad strokes, then name the exceptions.

Leave it on Everywhere on the site and it shows wherever it can. Choose Only where I tick below and three lists appear, all built from your own site — a custom post type you have added is already in them:

• Places — the front page, the blog index, search results, the 404 page, and, with WooCommerce, the shop, the basket, the checkout and the account pages.
• Kinds of content — any single item of a post type: a product, a post, a page.
• Archives — the listing pages: product categories, tags, and any taxonomy of your own.

And also on these particular ones covers the case where ticking a whole kind of content is more than you meant.

But never on these always wins. Start typing and it finds pages, products and categories by name — there are no IDs to look up. Choosing a category covers its archive and everything filed under it.

Quick exclude ticks the places most often left out — the basket, the checkout, the account pages — without going looking for them by name. A place you have chosen above cannot be ruled out here: it greys out rather than cancelling the choice you just made, and the same applies to a place a preset chose for you.

Addresses to keep it off takes one path per line, with standing for anything — the same shape you already know from redirects. /account/ keeps it off every page under /account/. It is matched against the path only, so it works whatever your domain is, and it is not a regular expression: a mistyped one is a rule that matches nothing rather than a rule that matches the site.

Who sees it

Phones are handled by Show on mobile devices, over on the wheel's own settings, because the popup decides its layout in its own script rather than in the stylesheet. That is why there is no screen-size list here.

Visitors limits it to people who are signed in or signed out. Tick Signed in and Only these roles appears underneath, narrowing it further — the role list is your own site's. A role is something only a signed-in visitor has, so the question is not asked until it can be answered.

When

Leave it on Always and it runs until you say otherwise. Between two dates opens a window: a start, an end, particular days of the week, and a time of day. Everything is worked out against your site's clock, the one under Settings → General.

One caveat worth knowing: a page cache can outlive the moment a schedule ends, because the cached copy was made while the schedule was still running. If the timing has to be exact, keep those pages out of your cache.

Once you have ticked something, the exceptions box only offers what is inside those ticks: there is no sense excluding a blog post from something that only shows on products. Named places are always offered, because "never on the checkout" is worth saying whatever else is ticked.
