Correlation between IP and users

    I manage a restricted access site – nothing cosmic, just a little all terrain vehicle club site. So most pages are restricted to valid logged in club members. Normally the plugin shows a member’s username when they are logged in. However, sometimes I can see ‘guests’ browsing restricted pages. When I check, the pages are secured so I assume for some reason the plugin is not recognizing them and shows them as guests.

    Is there a way to search the WP user database by IP address reported in the plugin to positively identify the user? OR, failing that, is it possible to log IP addresses reported in the plugin so I can find a way to determine who was logged in?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The page might be restricted. But if the user can see the page and land on the page with a message “you are not allowed to access this page”. This user will still be counted as technically, the landed on the page.

    The other two questions are not possible in the plugin since the information in the database is purged every x minutes.
