How to Disable Geolocation Redirects for Specific Visitors

Introduction

In some cases, you may want to allow certain visitors to access your website without being affected by your geolocation redirection rules. This can be useful for testing your website or allowing specific users to bypass automatic redirects.

Bypassing Geolocation Redirection

To prevent the geolocation redirection functionality from applying to any specific visitor, they can add the following parameter to the end of your website URL:

?gcrOverride=true

For example:

https://www.yourwebsite.com/?gcrOverride=true

When a visitor accesses your website using this URL, the Smart Geolocation Redirects functionality will be bypassed, and the visitor will not be automatically redirected based on their location.

Note: Make sure to add the parameter exactly as shown above.

Conclusion

Using the override parameter allows specific visitors to bypass your geolocation redirection rules without requiring you to disable or modify your existing settings.
