This version adds support for Geographic IP based detection which has been a requested feature for the last few ages (When the dinos ruled).
How does one enable the support for this detection? It relies on the excellent GeoIP Detection plugin by yellowtree.de. After installing and activating that plugin the option will appear in the settings just below the ACCEPT_LANGUAGES header based detection. The improved interface will also show you what will be the result for your own detection when you are accessing the administration panel.
Further explaining, assuming your site is written in English and has support for Spanish. A user visits from Spain, the language will be redirected to Spanish (First connection of the session). If a user visits from Germany although the language is detected as German since the language isn’t enabled the site will redirect to the default version.
When both options are enabled, the ACCEPT_LANGUAGES will take precedence.
The feature is supported both on the free and the full version.
If you find any misredirection when this feature is enabled (It has been temporarily enabled here for testing) please let us know via the contact form.
As always, we hope you will enjoy this version.
PS. If you are using a prior full version and the update to the newest full version is not showing (only update to the free version) don’t hesitate – upgrade to the free version first, then immediately follow by upgrading to the full version, no settings should be lost.
Mister Ofer, Thank you to provide such Jewel…!
I love this plugin. I think it is the best and least hassle free one for WordPress. Many thanks for continuing to work on this.
