Descripció
Live User IP and Location integrates with ipapi.co to fetch visitor geolocation and network data and provides shortcodes to display that data anywhere on your site.
Key features:
* Robust server-side IP detection using common headers.
* Optional IP anonymization to mask the most specific part of the IP (IPv4 and IPv6).
* Per-IP transient caching with configurable TTL to reduce external API calls.
* Admin settings page with API Key Test (AJAX + nonce + capability checks).
* 29 shortcodes to output IP and location data fields.
* Safe and standards-compliant implementation with i18n support.

Instal·lació
- Upload the plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/live-user-ip-and-locationdirectory or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Go to the plugin settings page (IP Location), enter your ipapi API key and click Save Changes.
- Optionally enable IP anonymization for privacy compliance and choose your Cache TTL.
PMF
-
What does IP anonymization do?
-
When enabled, the plugin partially masks the visitor’s IP address before sending it to ipapi. For IPv4 the last octet is zeroed (for example: 192.168.1.123 192.168.1.0). For IPv6 it truncates after the first blocks to reduce identifiability. This reduces storage of personally identifiable information and helps with privacy compliance such as GDPR.
-
Do I need an API key?
-
Yes. Register at https://ipapi.co/free/ to receive a free API key via email and paste it into the plugin settings page.
-
How does caching work?
-
Location responses are stored in a transient keyed per-IP and API key to reduce repeated external requests. You can configure the TTL (time-to-live) on the settings page.
-
Can I style the shortcode output?
-
Yes. Shortcode output is plain HTML/text so you can target it with your theme or custom CSS.
