Is there any support (or plan to support) ISO3 (3-digit) country codes? I know I can get the data from country.io but it would be nice to have it built into the plugin.

Hi all,

The plugin is working fine when I am logged in to my wordpress website, and it is able to detect my IP as well as location country.

However when trying to surf the site when I'm not logged in or via private browsing, the plugin is unable to detect my IP address. Hence it retrieves the (I assume) default value which is the IP address of the server.

Could someone help me with this issue please?

Thank you.

Considering ... I would need some data on how correlated the two databases are.

I had an issue in developpment with the external ip detection.
I set the field in the setting so this work now but I don't understand why the plugin need this information since I'm using the local database Maxmind GeoIP Lite City

Thank you

Hi. The plugin sets the user location correctly, but I get the following error:

NOTICE: wp-content/plugins/geoip-detect/geoip-detect-lib.php:162 - Undefined index: mostSpecificSubdivision
require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), include('/themes/timely-timber/page.php'), Timber::get_context, apply_filters('timber_context'), call_user_func_array, StarterSite->add_to_context, geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip, geoip_detect2_get_info_from_ip, _geoip_detect2_record_enrich_data, apply_filters('geoip_detect2_record_data'), call_user_func_array, _geoip_detect2_try_to_fix_timezone

Here's the function I'm using:

// Check if the GEOIP plugin has generated a country code and use that, or fall back to the US
if (!geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip()->isEmpty) {

    $info = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();

    $context['geoworking'] = 'yes';

    // Get the users country from the GEOIP plugin  
    $context['usercountry'] = $info->country->isoCode;

} else {
    $context['geoworking'] = 'no';
    $context['usercountry'] = 'US';
};

As a temporary fix I have removed the reference to mostSpecificSubdivision from line 161 of geoip-detect-lib.php

$data['location'] = _geoip_detect_get_time_zone($data['country']['iso_code'], @$data['mostSpecificSubdivision']['isoCode']);

But it would be great to know where I'm going wrong. Thanks, Alan

I'm following an example given with CSS to show local contacts depending on Country ISO Code.
While it works for Germany and England, it doesn't do it for other countries.
What could be wrong??
Here is my example: (first two work, Italy doesn't)
<div class="geoip geoip-show-GB">
<strong>Your contact in England</strong>
Company
London
England
+xx
</div>
<div class="geoip geoip-show-DE">
<strong>Your contact in Germany</strong>
Firma
Berlin
Deutschland
+xx
</div>
<div class="geoip geoip-show-IT">
<strong>Your contact in Italy</strong>
Compania
Milano
Italy
+xx
</div>

Hi there,

I have just installed the plugin and chosen 'Automatic Download....Maxmind' but the Settings page is showing 'No Maxmind Database Found'. If I try to 'Update Now' I get the error 'Update Failed. Forbidden'.

Looking in my uploads folder I can see two files of between 1 and 2 Mb named 'GeoIP.dat' and 'GeoIPv6.dat'

I have searched Git and wordpress.org to see if anyone else has had the same issue and got a fix but no luck...any help greatly appreciated. :-)

Cheers,

Will

Hi Pal,

I cannot redefine GEOIP_DETECT_IP_EMPTY_CACHE_TIME constant, I still need to wait 2 hours for [0.0.0.0] issue ..

Any suggestion? .. I'm even tried the following

function THEME_SLUG_geoip_change_empty_cache_time() {

if (! defined('GEOIP_DETECT_IP_EMPTY_CACHE_TIME')) {

    define('GEOIP_DETECT_IP_EMPTY_CACHE_TIME', 2 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS);
}

}
add_action( 'muplugins_loaded', 'THEME_SLUG_geoip_change_empty_cache_time' );

Thanks

Wordpress 5.0 will include Gutenberg, which replaces the nasty shortcode-logic with shiny visual blocks. This make nestes conditions possible (currently not possible because the same shortcodes cannot be nested).

admin-ajax.php?action=geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip&locales=fr,en

should return the JSON data.

After turning it on it can't be disabled.

Would it be possible to integrate this plugin with the popular https://github.com/johngodley/redirection so that geo-conditional redirects can be managed there (including loop detection)? This would require adding new actions/filters per PR.

Filter:

• redirection_custom_filters - adding a new custom "matches" type.
  • where can I return the HTML needed? or is it react?
• On save/update: add the custom condition
• On redirect checks: check if custom condition applies
• Log: add/fix the geo-information for debugging purposes

Hi I'm new in WP.
I have a problem with geoip detect plugin
I found it in log file: [19-Nov-2018 21:30:31 UTC] PHP Notice: GeoIP Detection Plugin: geoip_detect2_get_info_from_ip() was called incorrectly. $skipCache has been renamed to $options. Instead of TRUE, now use "array('skipCache' => TRUE)".
Can you help me fix it ?

Hi,

Basic (dummy) user question but on my wordpress website I add a widget text.
What code do I set here to show visitor his IP adres + country + City?)

Thanks

Hi! Thanks for making this awesome plugin. But recently I'm facing an issue.
When I try to activate the plugin I get this : "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.". It goes away when I change the PHP version to 7.1 or lower. But when I do that I get "Update failed. Forbidden". I thought it is just me until I found atleast one more person having reported this issue in the wordpress support forum.

Fatal error: Declaration of YellowTree\GeoipDetect\DataSources\Precision\PrecisionReader::city($ip) must be compatible with GeoIp2\WebService\Client::city($ipAddress = ‘me’) in ../wp-content/plugins/geoip-detect/data-sources/precision.php on line 34

Is there currently a way to install this over a multi-site network.

At the moment, it appears the database would need to be installed for each and every subsite

When trying to do a redirect as per the instruction the site doesn't load and I get a too many redirects error

add_action('template_redirect', 'geoip_redirect', 5);
function geoip_redirect(){
	if (is_admin() || !function_exists('geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip'))
		return;

	// This condition prevents a redirect loop:
	// Redirect only if the home page is called. Change this condition to the specific page or URL you need.
	if (!is_home())
		return;

	if (!function_exists('geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip'))
		return;

	$userInfo = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();
	$countryCode = $userInfo->country->isoCode;
	switch ($countryCode) {
		case 'US':
			$url = '/en-US';
			break;
		default:
			$url = '';
    }
	if ($url) {
		wp_redirect(get_site_url(null, $url));
		exit;
	}
}

Awesome plugin!

Was wondering if there were any plans to add GeoIP2 Insight Shortcodes?

The main ones I was after are:

• ISP / Organization
• Domain

Cheers!

This plugin is slowing down website speed.We can store country data in database instead of a file

Hi Benjamin,

Just installed this on my server and ran into this issue. Would you have any clue as to what this could be related to?

The plugin should allow to choose the IP data from the API of https://ipstack.com/
It is free up to 10.000 requests / mo

• Retrieve the Data from the REST API
• Package it into the fields of Maxmind (similar to the hostinfo source) (with a way to access the original data array?)
• Fill in Timezone data via filter, if necessary & possible
• Add unit tests
• Write documentation (readme.txt, privacy policy)

Hello!

How can I make [geoip_detect2 property="country.isoCode"] return "de" instead of "DE" ?

Will greatly appreciate any help! Many thanks!

Hi,

I'm implementing plugin that will offer user an option to choose countries from a list of countries. I would like to know if there is a function to get a list of all the countries in a database as array, ideally with ISO code and full name?

Hi guys!

Thanks for all the good job.

Good morning and great plugin!

I've recently been integrating the plugin Advanced Ads (Pro version - along with their Geo Targeting Add-on) which also uses GeoIP2 geo location. Both plugins work perfectly on their own, but when both are activated I receive the following Fatal Error:

[02-Feb-2018 01:08:56 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare interface GeoIp2\ProviderInterface, because the name is already in use in .../wp-content/plugins/advanced-ads-geo/includes/GeoIp2/ProviderInterface.php on line 5

I also opened a ticked with the other plugin's author, but thought I would also post here to get your thoughts.

Thank you!

In order for GitHub Updater to correctly function, a plugin that exists both within the dot org directory and in GitHub must use the same plugin slug. In this plugin’s case, when installed from dot org the slug will begeoip-detect and if installed from GitHub the slug will be wp-geoip-detect.

As the GitHub Plugin URI: https://github.com/yellowtree/wp-geoip-detect in the plugin’s headers look to the GitHub repository as the source for updates and my show an update. If the GitHub Update is used then it is likely that 2 copies of the plugin will be installed.

The solution is to change the GitHub repository name to match the dot org slug or remove the header from the version pushed to dot org. GitHub does a good job with redirects.

afragen/git-updater#746

Trying to use the latitude/longitude to calculate the nearest location and present the user with content- in this case a phone number. Can anyone help me out?

Locations:
var officeLocations = { "Philadelphia": {latitude: 39.952115, longitude: -75.163696}, "Los Angeles": {latitude: 34.052853, longitude: -118.240077}, "Sydney": {latitude: -24.952110, longitude: 133.370889} } var officePhoneNumbers = { "Philadelphia": "1111111111", "Los Angeles": "2134453245", "Sydney": "1454377643543" }

I've got the call set up and working as follows:
`function geoip_phonenumber(){
$userInfo = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();
$lat = $userInfo->location->latitude;
$lon = $userInfo->location->longitude;
if ($lat) {
?>

I noticed that the line to unlink the temporary file after updating the database is commented out in updater.php:
//unlink($tmpFile);

Is there a reason for this? I'd thought that it was the responsibility of the caller to unlink the temp file?

Thx.

http://diveintohtml5.info/geolocation.html

Do this only for mobile browsers (ontouchstart)
Optional: Use "high accuracy position"

This must be optional (preferences) as it asks the user to reveal his location, and this may not be desired.

• Log errors into file
• Log Cron errors
• Error levels: Errors (Update failed, Precision API credits gone etc.), Notices (no info for ip), debug (every single request + response)
• Show last N errors from file in backend
• Option to send error messages to Email ?

Esp for Maxmind Precision / Ipstack this might be important (so that there will be a notifiction when the credits are gone.)

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem where the plugin is picking up certain countries but not others.

$userInfo = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();
if ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'US'){
echo 'UNITED STATES';
} elseif ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'DE'){
echo 'GERMANY';
} elseif ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'AUS'){
echo 'AUSTRAILIA';
} elseif ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'CAN'){
echo 'CANADA';
} elseif ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'NZL'){
echo 'NEW ZEALAND';
} else {
echo 'DEFAULT';
}

This is the code I'm using, and it only picks up the US & Germany but not the others; I've checked the countries iso codes and they seem to be correct. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you

My apologies on this somewhat open-ended question, but I've recently been getting the following PHP warning message and not certain where to start on troubleshooting:

 WARNING: wp-content/plugins/geoip-detect/geoip-detect-lib.php:257 - inet_pton(): Unrecognized address  

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Hi! thanks for the great job. I can easily display a combo box with the country of the user preselected in worpress. But I woulld like to do the same with the city. This is the construction to have the country list with the user's one preselected. [geoip_detect2_countries text-ville id:contact-ville class:form-control lang:fr include_blank default:US]

What could be the equivalent for cities. The goal is to retrieve the user city no matter his manual selection?

[geoip_detect_flag set="..." ip="..." default=".." height="..." width="..." format="svg|png"]
with the currently detected country.
Flags must be compatible with GPLv3 ...

If one of the datasources fail, the request should re-route to a different datasource. This requires

• A way to check which datasources are currently working
• The user should be able to choose which datasources to use, and maybe even in which fallback order.
• It would be nice to have statistics collected how often a specific database fails to get (anything, a country, a city).

The system does not seem to be detecting the country, based on using the HostIP.info Web-API. all I need is the country of the user, nothing else, but the PHP sample code (which seemed perfect), only results in default listing. What would you suggest?

This is the code I am using:
`
if (function_exists('geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip'))
{
$userInfo = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();
$countryCode = $userInfo->country->isoCode;
switch ($countryCode) {
case 'DE':
$SearchLat = 50.00; $SearchLong= -65.00; // Default location atlantic ocean
$ZoomLevel = 4;
break;
case 'US':
$SearchLat = 38.41299; $SearchLong= -102.8106317; // Default location - Center of United States
$ZoomLevel = 4;
break;

	default:
	  $SearchLat = 38.41299;  $SearchLong= -102.8106317;	    // Default location - Center of United States
      $ZoomLevel  = 4;
}

WooCommerce: 3.5.1
WordPress: 4.9.8
GeoIP Detection plugin 2.9.1 https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/

I need to set the postal code value from GeoIP into billing or shipping fields in woocommerce checkout. By default (GeoIP Detection plugin) I can only set the following values:

    $record->city->name  [geoip_detect2 property="city"]
    $record->mostSpecificSubdivision->isoCode  [geoip_detect2 property="mostSpecificSubdivision.isoCode"]
    $record->mostSpecificSubdivision->name  [geoip_detect2 property="mostSpecificSubdivision"]
    $record->country->isoCode  [geoip_detect2 property="country.isoCode"]
    $record->country->name  [geoip_detect2 property="country"]
    $record->location->latitude  [geoip_detect2 property="location.latitude"]
    $record->location->longitude  [geoip_detect2 property="location.longitude"]
    $record->continent->code  [geoip_detect2 property="continent.code"]
    $record->location->timeZone  [geoip_detect2 property="location.timeZone"]

I set values by following code in child-theme functions.php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'set_checkout_field_input_value_default' );
    
    function set_checkout_field_input_value_default($fields) {
        $fields['billing']['billing_city']['default'] = do_shortcode( '[geoip_detect2 property="city"]' );
        $fields['billing']['billing_state']['default'] = do_shortcode( '[geoip_detect2 property="mostSpecificSubdivision"]' );
        $fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['default'] = do_shortcode( '???' );
        return $fields;
    }

How can I set GeoIP postcode as a default value? Any solution, pls!

I have three subscribe forms based on Geolocation. So, if you're in Virginia, you see the Virginia form, Colorado, that specific form and Georgia, that form.

Is there a way to make the "Virginia" form a default display for other states? So if you're visiting the site from Maryland, North Carolina, etc. show the Virginia form but if you're from Georgia you see the Georgia form and Colorado, the Colorado form.

Thanks!

So far, this is implemented in 2.11.0:

• JSON Endpoint
• JS code to access the record of this endpoint
• (Hidden feature) Body class via AJAX

Use this bug report to discuss any improvement ideas.

• Add cookie cache for server response

Roadmap:

1. Next months - Stabilize API (e.g. - I'm not sure if record.get() should support both camelCase and underscore_property), remove Beta flag
2. Sometime in the future - Make it possible that the current shortcodes work automatically also via AJAX. (It will be hard to implement all properties. But I don't want to implement only some and get support requests. That's why it will probably take quite a while.)

I have a project hosted on Pantheon using the Manual Data Source option. Works greats, however, when we migrate the database between different hosts we have to constantly go into the backend and resubmit the manual data source since the path seems to be getting converted from a relative to an absolute path.

Is there any way to automate this step to make deployments easier in the future?

Hi Benjamin,

do you have any email where I could contact you ? Or if you could write me back at [email protected] would be great. I have a proposition but couldn't find any contact info in the wiki.

thanks, sorry for using tickets for this

Add enclosed shortcode [shortcode]Content[/shortcode] to hide the content within unless a user is within the specified country/region/city/etc.

Description

Despite dismissing the "GeoIP Detection: No database installed" admin notice as an administrator user (i.e., requesting that the notice not be displayed again), when I logged into the site in which the plugin was installed as a user assigned the Subscriber role, the same admin notice reappeared.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install GeoIP Detection plugin as a user assigned the Administrator role.
2. After installation, click the textual "Dismiss" link at the top-right of the "No database installed" admin notice that appears.
3. Log out of WordPress and log back into WordPress as a user assigned the Subscriber role.
4. Observe the "No database installed" admin notice has reappeared.

Expected results

I expected that this particular admin notice never appear for a Subscriber because they do not have a relevant role in managing the GeoIP database for the site.

Barring that, I expected that clicking the "Dismiss" link in the admin notice would prevent the notice from being shown again regardless of the currently logged-in user.

Actual results

Logging into other user accounts, apparently regardless of the capabilities those user accounts have, display the admin notice again.
