Country and language IP-based detection for WordPress.

IP Locator

IP Locator is a country and language detection tool for WordPress. It is fast, reliable and plug & play.

See WordPress directory page or official website.

IP Locator can detect and render the country, the main language and the country flag of each visitor of your site. It provides:

• a strong, accurate and ultra-fast IP and country detection;
• many shortcodes to display country names, languages and flags (emoji or vectorized);
• a shortcode to conditionally hide or show strings or other shortcodes;
• a CSS modifier to add a country-specific class to the body tag of your site;
• an automatic system to be always up to date (no API key, no IP data files to manually import);
• a full-featured API for plugins / themes developers.

For full details, you can browse the shortcodes list or the API description (for developers).

IP Locator can be used too to report the following main items and characteristics:

• KPIs: number of detected countries and languages, accesses breakdown and detection ratio;
• countries for real humans with public IPs;
• languages for real humans with public IPs;
• metrics variations;
• full list of countries per channel;
• full list of countries per client (requires the free Device Detector plugin).

Technically, IP Locator:

• works on dedicated or shared servers;
• can detect the source IP even behind proxies or load-balancers;
• can use AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare and Apache mod_geoip to speed-up detection;
• natively supports APCu caching(1) and all other dedicated object caching mechanisms, like Memcached or Redis;
• has a minimal footprint in the page rendering time;
• runs its data updates in background, without impact on the website speed;
• is fully compatible with multisites;
• natively supports names and languages localizations(2).

(1): APCu needs to be activated on your server if you want to use it in IP Locator.

(2): PHP Intl extension needs to be activated on your server if you want to use it in IP Locator.

Synchronisation des tables WooCommerce et Stockage des Logs de Action Scheduler dans les commentaires

Describe the bug
Sur un WordPress avec WooCommerce, j'ai mis du temps à trouver mais je me suis rendu compte qu l'extension IP Locator rends impossible la synchronisation des commandes de l'ancien système au nouveau HPOS de WooCommerce.

Il y a un autre problème : le stockage des logs des actions dans les commentaires. C'est cela qui m'a permis de remonté le problème du dessus dont je n'arrivais pas à trouver la source.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Création d'une installation neuve
2. Ajout de WooCommerce
3. Ajout d'IP Locator
4. Bug n°1 : Voir les commentaires
5. Création d'une commande (meme sans produit ça marche)
6. Forcer la synchronisation vers l'ancien système (Réglages -> Avancée -> Fonctionnalités)
7. Retournée dans les commentaires voir cette erreur :
   Une défaillance est survenue lors de la récupération de cette action : L’action [468989] comporte des arguments non valides. Elle ne peut pas être un JSON décodé dans un tableau. $args = array (
   ) en lien avec l'action wc_run_batch_process

et en supprimant cette ligne, cela règle le problème, il me semble.
ip-locator.php 41 : add_filter( 'action_scheduler_migration_dependencies_met', '__return_false' );

Qui bloque apparemment la migration de l’utilisation des nouvelles tables pour gérer les actions. Solution pour les versions avant 3.0 de Action Scheduler : https://actionscheduler.org/version3-0/

_I would like to update a plugin for testing that includes Action Scheduler 3.0 but would like to postpone the migration until that testing is complete. Is that possible?

Yes, while we recommend migrating to custom tables as soon as possible for performance reasons, you can use add_filter( 'action_scheduler_migration_dependencies_met', '_return_false' ); to prevent the migration from initiating.

Merci Pierre.

mydomain.INET6_ATON does not exist

Hi Pierre,
I just installed the plugin v3.5.1 and created a file logger instance using DecaLog https://wordpress.org/plugins/decalog/ . One of the entries shows the SQL table is either missing a column or a function is not defined. I am not sure how to interpret it.

AJAX.CRITICAL: A database error was detected during the page rendering: “FUNCTION mydomain.INET6_ATON does not exist“ in the query “SELECT `country` FROM `wp_iplocator_v4` WHERE `from` ≤ INET6_ATON(`195.201.152.254`) AND `to` ≥ INET6_ATON(`195.201.152.254`) ;“. {"class":"db","component":"MySQL compatible","version":"5.5" ...

Environment (please complete the following information):

• PHP version: 7.3.24-3+ubuntu
• WordPress version and flavour: 5.9
• mysql version: 5.5.15
