Description

Looking to display your website visitor’s IP address, location, browser details, and other information on your WordPress site? Then “User IP and Location” plugin is exactly what you need!

This plugin is very simple to set up and use. Just install it, and you can start showing visitor information anywhere on your website using easy shortcodes. You can put these shortcodes in your posts, pages, sidebar, footer – anywhere you want!

The best part? We use the reliable and free IP-API service to get all the location data, so the information is always accurate and up-to-date.

New in Version 4.x.x – Works with Caching Plugins!

Are you using WP-Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or any other caching plugin? No problem at all! We’ve completely rebuilt the plugin to work perfectly with all caching plugins. Your visitors will always see their own correct information, not some cached data from another visitor.

Advanced Features:

Multi-Language Support – Get location names in 8 different languages (English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Chinese, Russian)
PRO API Key Support – Use your premium IP-API key for higher limits and HTTPS security
Smart Caching System – Built-in server-side caching with customizable expiration times (1 hour to 1 week)
Conditional Content – Show different content to visitors from specific countries, regions, or cities
Developer Tools – PHP functions and REST API endpoints for custom development
Customizable Output – Change “Yes/No” text to any language or format you prefer

Here are all the shortcodes you can use:

FAQ

Can I show the visitor’s IP address?

Yes! Just use [userip_location type="ip"] shortcode anywhere you want to display the visitor’s IP address.

How do I show visitor’s location details?

Easy! Use these shortcodes to show different location information:
– Country: [userip_location type="country"]
– City: [userip_location type="city"]
– Region: [userip_location type="regionname"]
– And many more!

Can I detect visitor’s browser and operating system?

Absolutely! Use [userip_location type="browser"] for browser name and [userip_location type="os"] for operating system.

Does this plugin support country flags?

Yes! Use [userip_location type="flag"] to show the visitor’s country flag. You can also control the size and alignment:
[userip_location type=”flag” width=”30px” height=”20px” vertical_align=”top”]

Can I show different currency for different countries?

Yes! Use [userip_location type="currency"] to display the local currency code for the visitor’s country.

Will this plugin work with caching plugins like WP-Rocket?

Absolutely! This was a major issue in older versions, but from version 4.x onwards, the plugin works perfectly with all caching plugins. We use modern AJAX technology to ensure visitors always see their own correct information.

Can I show visitor’s ZIP code and local time?

Yes! These are new features in version 4.x:
– ZIP/Postal code: [userip_location type="zip"]
– Local time: [userip_localtime]
– Local date: [userip_localdate]

How do I show content only to visitors from specific countries?

Use the conditional shortcode like this:
[userip_conditional country=”US,IN,UK”]This content is only for visitors from USA, India, and UK[/userip_conditional]

You can also exclude countries:
[userip_conditional country_not=”CN,RU”]This content is for everyone except China and Russia[/userip_conditional]

And target specific regions or cities:
[userip_conditional region=”CA,TX”]Special content for California and Texas[/userip_conditional]
[userip_conditional city=”Mumbai,Delhi”]Mumbai and Delhi only content[/userip_conditional]

Can I get location names in different languages?

Absolutely! The plugin supports 8 languages for location names:
– English (default)
– German (Deutsch)
– Spanish (Español)
– Portuguese (Português)
– French (Français)
– Japanese (日本語)
– Chinese (中国)
– Russian (Русский)

Just go to Settings User IP and Location API Settings and select your preferred language. This will show country, region, and city names in that language.

What is the PRO API Key feature?

If you have a premium account with IP-API.com, you can enter your API key in the plugin settings. This gives you:
– Higher request limits (up to 1000 requests per minute)
– HTTPS secure connections instead of HTTP
– Priority support from IP-API
– More accurate data

The free version works great for most websites, but if you have high traffic, the PRO version is recommended.

How does the caching system work?

The plugin has a smart caching system that saves API responses to reduce server load and improve speed:
– You can enable/disable caching from plugin settings
– Choose cache expiration time: 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, or 1 week
– Cached data is stored securely in your WordPress database
– You can manually clear the cache anytime from settings page

This means if 100 visitors from the same IP visit your site, the plugin will only make 1 API call instead of 100!

Can developers use this plugin in custom code?

Yes! We provide several tools for developers:

PHP Function:

if (function_exists('get_user_ip_data')) {
    $location = get_user_ip_data();
    if ($location && $location['countryCode'] === 'IN') {
        echo 'Welcome Indian visitor!';
    }
}

REST API Endpoints:
– Secure endpoint for admins: /wp-json/user-ip/v1/location
– Public endpoint for AJAX: /wp-json/user-ip/v1/data

Perfect for custom themes, plugins, or JavaScript applications!

Will this plugin slow down my website?

Not at all! The plugin uses AJAX loading, which means the location data is fetched after your page has already loaded. Your website speed remains fast.

Is the location data accurate?

Yes! We use the reliable IP-API service which provides very accurate location data based on IP addresses.

I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it has been working great for what I need which is the country names. The support team is also nice, there was an issue after a big update and they were able to fix it in less than 24 hours

foodlisty October 16, 2023 2 replies

The plugin was working fine until the most recent version of Wordpress updated. This plugin is currently not compatible with Wordpress. One device that I used showed that my location was 100 miles away in the north west direction, while another showed it was 100 miles south. I would like to keep using this plugin, but I need an update fast. I was pitching businesses yesterday with a website demo and the location was not correct.

panonski August 28, 2023

Does the job, without troubles ! – All other plugins were so complicated to do such a small task. I know it’s not super turbo equiped with trackings, but it is simple and effective. 5 stars to that !

bobbygill September 21, 2022

This deserves much more use and reviews. 5 stars! I tried to code something similar myself and use other complicated plugins. Finally found THIS plugin and it was simple as… install plugin > use shortcode > get output I wanted on the page!
