## Description

Want to start a split-test right away? Choose a unique test id, provide a piece 
of code for the first group and a piece of code for the second, and define an id
to indicate a conversion.

For example, let’s define a split test called **clothes**. In the first group, we’ll
say “Your clothes are red.” In the second group, we’ll say “Your clothes are black.”
When we convert, we’ll use the id **clothes_complete**.

Then, we’ll do this on our test page:

<a href=”convert.php”>**[ab-see id=clothes]**</a>

And on the page we want to get to:

**[ab-convert id=clothes_complete]**

That’s it!

Inspired by the practice of copying the smartest people you know, AB-See is based
on Patrick McKenzie’s A/Bingo (http://www.bingocardcreator.com/abingo) and Ben Kamens’
GAE/Bingo (http://bjk5.com/post/10171483254/a-bingo-split-testing-now-on-app-engine-
built-for).

Built for our A/B testing needs at Scent Trunk (https://scenttrunk.com).

## Installation

Place all the files in a directory inside of wp-content/plugins (for example, ab-
see), and activate the plugin.

## FAQ

  Why is my test not working?

Tests are not enabled by default after being created! Make sure your test is enabled,

and that you have the correct test id in the ab-see shortcode.

  How can I test that both groups are working?

You can amend the group_override parameter to force tests to use a particular group.
For example,
 http://scenttrunk.com?group_override=1 will force tests from the first
group to show, and http://scenttrunk.com?group_override=2 will force tests from 
the second group.

### 󠀁[Simple, out of the box, free](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-out-of-the-box-free/)󠁿

I am familiar with the old Google Website optimizer and also used optimizely.com
some weeks ago. But sometimes, you want something easy to configure and without 
external service. This plugin does the job in a great way. Easy to understand how
to configure. My first test took me less than 10 Minutes, comparing to versions 
of a sliders. It would be interesting to understand, how persistent versions are
delivered to customers. I had the impressions, it’s locked to the IP, because new
devices and browser still shown the same version. Thanks for sharing this!!
