Live User IP and Location integrates with ipapi.co to fetch visitor geolocation and network data and provides shortcodes to display that data anywhere on your site.
Key features:
* Robust server-side IP detection using common headers.
* Optional IP anonymization to mask the most specific part of the IP (IPv4 and IPv6).
* Per-IP transient caching with configurable TTL to reduce external API calls.
* Admin settings page with API Key Test (AJAX + nonce + capability checks).
* 28 shortcodes to output IP and location data fields.
* Safe and standards-compliant implementation with i18n support.
