</ul>
</li>
<li>For the property names, see the results of a specific IP in the wordpress backend (under <em>Tools > Geolocation IP Detection</em>).</li>
<li>You can include these properties into your posts and pages by using the shortcode <code>[geoip_detect2 property="country.name" default="(country could not be detected)" lang="en"]</code> (where ‘country.name’ can be one of the other property names as well, and ‘default’ and ‘lang’ are optional).</li>
<li>You can show or hide content by using a shortcode <code>[geoip_detect2_show_if country="FR, DE" not_city="Berlin"]TEXT[/geoip_detect2_show_if]</code>.

<li>If you are using a page cache, it is recommended to use the AJAX mode (see <a href="https://github.com/yellowtree/geoip-detect/wiki/API:-AJAX" rel="nofollow ugc">AJAX</a>)</li>
<li>When enabled on the options page, the client IP respects a reverse proxy of the server.</li>
<li>If you are using <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/" rel="ugc">Contact Form 7</a>, you can use these shortcodes:
<ul>
<li>A select input with all countries, the detected country being selected by default: <code>[geoip_detect2_countries mycountry]</code></li>
<li>A text input that is pre-filled with the detected city (or other property): <code>[geoip_detect2_text_input city property:city lang:fr id:id class:class default:Paris]</code></li>
<li>Geolocation information for the email text: <code>[geoip_detect2_user_info]</code></li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>Together with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/svg-flags-lite/" rel="ugc">SVG Flags</a> you can show the flag of the detected country: <code>[geoip_detect2_current_flag]</code> (see <a href="https://github.com/yellowtree/geoip-detect/wiki/API:-Shortcodes#add-a-flag-of-the-visitors-country" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a>)</li>

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<ul>
<li>Does <code>geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip()</code> return the same country, regardless of where you are visiting the site from? </li>
<li>Maybe your server has a reverse proxy configured. You can check this: Go to the options page and look for “reverse proxy”. Are there 2 IPs listed there? If so, which one corresponds to your <a href="https://www.whatismyip.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">public IP</a>?</li>
<li>Or maybe you are using a site cache plugin. Then enable the option <code>Disable caching a page that contains a shortcode or API call to geo-dependent functions.</code></li>
</ul>

Geolocation IP Detection

Great plugin although the documentation could be better

Works well

Great plugin, easy to use


Really well written plugin that does exactly what it promises, includes well written documentation.



To those who wrote negative reviews about detection that is not the author's fault, he links you to several providers that issue that data, you literally could not ask for more.


Works as Advertised

Provides geographic information detected by an IP adress.
