    I am in Singapore, but I my server is hosted in the USA, Bluehost, as it is cheaper than where I am.

    LocalCurrency seems to be looking at the server (?) as when I access one of my pages with LocalCurrency active, it shows me the price in USD.

    I also tried WorldCurrency last time, it was showing me the right currency in SGD.

    Just a note, it doesn’t matter to me as it still shows the SGD next to the USD, but it would be nice if it shows the currency of where I am.

    Hi Astrasuite,

    Most likely you are running into the caching problem – if you have a caching plugin active (like W3 Total Cache), then it doesn’t work properly. It remembers the location of the person who viewed the page when the caching plugin saved it, not the current visitor’s location.

    I believe the same issue exists in WorldCurrency (but not 100% sure). You were probably just the person who viewed the page and triggered the cached version, so everyone probably gets SGD.

    Anyway, I have a solution, but it needs me to rewrite most of the plugin. That will take a while, but I will do it..
