Live Visitor Monitor provides real-time tracking and visualization of visitors on your WordPress site. See where your visitors are coming from on an interactive world map.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Real-time World Map – Visualize visitor locations on an interactive map with live markers</li>
<li>Live Visitor List – See active visitors with IP addresses, countries, cities, and pages visited in a sidebar</li>
<li>IP Blocking – Instantly block unwanted IP addresses from accessing your site with a dedicated Blocklist page</li>
<li>Geolocation – Automatic country, region, and city detection using IP geolocation (API or local database)</li>
<li>Auto-refresh – Dashboard updates every 5 seconds to show the latest visitors</li>
<li>Statistics Overlay – Real-time stats box showing online and active visitor counts</li>
<li>Comprehensive Settings – Full control over tracking, geolocation, privacy, and data management</li>
<li>Privacy Compliant – Includes GDPR compliance notices and IP anonymization options</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
The plugin automatically tracks visitors. Visitor data (IP address, current page, referrer) is sent to WordPress via AJAX and stored in the database. Geolocation data can be fetched from ip-api.com (external API) or from a local MaxMind GeoLite2 database. Results are cached for 1 hour to reduce API calls.
Privacy & Security:
<ul>
<li>All inputs are sanitized and validated</li>
<li>SQL queries use prepared statements</li>
<li>Admin-only access to visitor data</li>
<li>GDPR compliance notice included</li>
<li>IP blocking prevents access at the WordPress level</li>
<li>Option to disable geolocation to avoid external API calls</li>
<li>Support for local GeoIP database (MaxMind GeoLite2) to avoid external dependencies</li>
<li>IP anonymization option for enhanced privacy</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Resources</h3>
This plugin uses <a href="Leaflet.js" rel="nofollow ugc">JavaScript Library</a> & the following external resources:
<a href="http://ip-api.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Geolocation API</a>: This service performs IP geolocation (country, region, city, coordinates) when geolocation is enabled and no local database is available. It supports 45 requests per minute, caches results for one hour, and sends IP addresses to ip-api.com. To avoid external lookups, disable geolocation or use a local MaxMind GeoLite2 database.
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a>: This service provides world map tiles for the dashboard and is used only when the live map is enabled. It has no rate limits, sends no user data (only map tile requests), and can be avoided by disabling the live map in Settings.
Note: All external requests can be avoided by disabling geolocation and the live map in Settings. The plugin will still track visitors, but without location data and map visualization.
<h3>Settings</h3>
The plugin includes a comprehensive settings page with two main sections:
General Settings: 
Live Map – Enable/disable the world map display on dashboard 
Data Collection – Enable/disable visitor tracking entirely 
IP Anonymization – Anonymize IP addresses before storage (GDPR compliance) 
Exclude Logged-in Users – Do not track WordPress logged-in users 
Geolocation – Enable/disable IP geolocation lookups 
Use Local GeoIP Database – Use MaxMind GeoLite2 database instead of external API
Access settings via Live Monitor > Settings in the WordPress admin menu.

Advanced Country Blocker helps you secure your WordPress site by restricting access based on the visitor’s geolocation (country) or IP address. Upon activation, the plugin detects the activating admin’s country and automatically sets that as the only allowed country. All other visitors from different countries are blocked, unless they use a secret key parameter to temporarily whitelist their IP. Country detection uses the privacy-friendly ip-api.com service by default but can be switched to a fully offline MaxMind GeoLite2 (or compatible) database file once you configure a local copy.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatically allows the admin’s country on plugin activation.</li>
<li>Flexible IP-to-country lookups – start with the built-in ip-api.com integration and optionally switch to an offline MaxMind GeoLite2 Country (or compatible) <code>.mmdb</code> database file.</li>
<li>Allowlist or blacklist mode – choose whether the country list acts as an allowlist or blocklist without re-entering countries.</li>
<li>Temporary access via a customizable secret URL parameter (e.g., <code>?MySecretKey=1</code>).</li>
<li>Manual blacklisting and safelisting of IPs for added security and to accommodate uptime monitors.</li>
<li>Optional email alerts when new visitors are blocked.</li>
<li>Admin bypass so logged-in admins can always access the site (toggleable in the code).</li>
<li>Detailed logging of blocked attempts in a custom database table, displayed in the WP admin.</li>
<li>Custom response controls – personalise the block page title/message, choose the HTTP status (403, 410, 451) or redirect to any URL.</li>
<li>Automatic log cleanup with configurable retention plus a one-click “Clear Logs” button.</li>
</ul>
Use the plugin settings page (Country Blocker menu in WP admin) to configure the list of allowed countries, blacklisted countries, blacklisted IPs, and whether email alerts are enabled.

<h3>External Services</h3>
By default this plugin contacts the ip-api.com geolocation service to detect visitor countries. You can disable all external lookups by switching the IP lookup method to the local MaxMind database in the settings.
