The city & country names are translated in different languages (supported languages).

You can include these properties into your posts and pages by using the shortcode [geoip_detect2 property=”country.name” default=”(country could not be detected)” lang=”en”] (where ‘country.name’ can be one of the other property names as well, and ‘default’ and ‘lang’ are optional). You can show or hide content by using a shortcode [geoip_detect2_show_if country=”FR, DE” not_city=”Berlin”]TEXT[/geoip_detect2_show_if]. See Shortcode Documentation. When enabled on the options page, it adds CSS classes to the body tag such as geoip-province-HE, geoip-country-DE and geoip-continent-EU. When enabled on the options page, the client IP respects a reverse proxy of the server. If you are using Contact Form 7, you can use these shortcodes: A select input with all countries, the detected country being selected by default: [geoip_detect2_countries mycountry] A text input that is pre-filled with the detected city (or other property): [geoip_detect2_text_input city property:city lang:fr id:id class:class default:Paris] Geolocation information for the email text: [geoip_detect2_user_info] See Documentation for more info.

I’m rather curious what you’ll do with this plugin! Be careful to comply to the applicable laws. For example Regulation (EU) 2018/302 (going into effect 03 Dec 2018)… If you need to get the user’s timezone, it is more accurate to use JS solutions.

Troubleshooting Does geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip() return the same country, regardless of where you are visiting the site from? 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 public IP? Or maybe you are using a site cache plugin. Then enable the option Disable caching a page that contains a shortcode or API call to geo-dependent functions. More Troubleshooting Hints
