This is a weird notice that I haven’t seen before, let me know if you have any idea how I could reproduce it … he seems to try to open a file that is actually a directory, but why?
Is the Maxmind automatic update source working for you?
My setup is WordPress 5.8.2 and PHP 8.
After installation, I changed the setting to Maxmind. When I saved it, this PHP warning appeared on the screen several times, and I had to close down the browser.
I deleted the plugin directly from FTP.
I have reinstalled again, and this behaviour appears again, making my site unresponsive.
I’m sorry, really. Please, let me know how I can help. Many thanks.
Hi, I have made a change, can you please try the newest beta ?

Did I get it right that the notice appeared after you saved the Maxmind API key?
Hello @benjamin4,
Yes, the problem arose once I selected the Maxmind option and saved it. Not before.
I am following the instructions on the page you have provided, but I am not able to locate this:
Go to Settings > Github Updater and activate Enable Branch Switching
Sorry, this is the first time I am doing this. How can I go ahead?
If I use the alternative method, and I upload the beta plugin to my server, Transmit app shows me this warning:
In case I haven’t said so, my setup is:
PHP 8 in apache server
WordPress 5.8.2
I’m afraid I don’t have enough knowledge or experience to help you troubleshoot this. Feel free to suggest anything I can do to help. Sorry for the trouble.
Oh, the Github Updater plugin changed – I will need to remove that method then.
The second method should work fine, just click on “continue” …
Ok, I have used the second method.
I’m afraid that I don’t have good news. Right now, it happens the same.
It seems that my site remembers my last choice and, once the plugin is activated, PHP warnings are generated and my site hangs up.
The only way to solve this is to delete the folder.
Yes wordpress saves the plugin options even when you disable the plugin. You can change the data source manually by entering the url <your-server.com>/wp-admin/options.php and setting geoip-detect-source to hostinfo.
Can you try again with Beta5, please? Also, please let me know if you see any additional error message (as I have added a few error conditions).

@benjamin4 thank you for your answer.
In /wp-admin/options.php, geoip-detect-source was set to manual. I’ve changed it to hostinfo, as suggested.
Uploaded file via FTP.
Plugin activated.
I have checked maxmind, ipstack and cloudflare with my own accounts.
As far as I can see, ti works like a charm. Congratulations! And thank you very much for your time. š
Ok great! Thanks for your patience!
