I was wondering if there’s a way to know which IP address upvoted at what time. This would be used for demographic tracking. I know that it is tracked somewhere since the plugin prevents someone from voting twice, but is there a visible way to view the addrss?

Hi there,

The plugin does not have any IP tracking.

It uses the browser’s LocalStorage to store which posts you have voted.

If the user goes to a different browser or opens a new incognito window, they can vote again the same posts.

More info on how LocalStorage works: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage

Hope this helps.

Ricard
