Can you provide a more complete example?

    I am not sure if the plugin is working since I can’t get it to output anything. Is there a diagnostic script with if-then command and instruction where exactly we can put the script to get it to work?

    When I put the example from FAQs in my WP footer, I get this output:

    country_code == ‘DE’)` echo ‘Hallo! Schön dass Sie hier sind!’; ?>

    I tried to surround it with <?php and ?> and few other things, but none of them helped. And in admin Dashboard when I look up my own IP the plugin tells me it’s not in the DB which I find hard to believe as it is from a pool that belongs to a large ISP.

    But I can’t really be sure if it’s not in the DB or simply not working, so I’d like to ask for a working example what unambiguously outputs those parameters or else returns some information that we can see.

    Firstly, have you updated you database? To do that use
    Tools => GEO IP Detect
    and click on “Update now” button.

    Once done, test it out by clicking on the “Lookup” button. This shows you a complete dump of the data available.

    As for your “WP Footer”, I assume you mean that you are updating your WP Footer using
    Appearance => Widget
    and selecting to update one of your footer widgets. If so, try adding a Text widget. In the widget, add
    [geoip_detect property="country_code"]
    Then save your widget and display a page/post on your web site. You should see a country code. Worked for me.

    Thank you very much for answering, dccharron!

    I’ve added the shortcode into the FAQ and also removed the backticks.

    dccharron, thanks that shortcode worked for me too!

    The thing with DB update got me… It wasn’t very prominent and I didn’t even notice I didn’t have any DB to work with!
