User Location and IP is a free shortcode based Wordpress plugin that displays real-time information about your users, including their IP address, location, country name, flag, and various other details on any WordPress post page or widget.



== Description ==



"User Location and IP" plugin is one of the best free WordPress plugins that let you know all the information about your visitors in real-time, including their IP address, ISP details, location, operating system, browser, city, and many other details, all of which can be displayed via shortcodes on your website posts, pages, and widget.



In order to use this plugin, you just need to copy one of the appropriate shortcodes from the list below. You can paste it into the location where you want the details to appear. This can be in the sidebar, the header, the footer, or even in the middle of the content.



"User Location and IP" plugin uses the IP-API website to fetch users details based on their IP address.



Here's the list of various shortcodes provided by the "User Location and IP" plugin:



[useriploc type="ip"]

[useriploc type="continent"]

[useriploc type="country"]

[useriploc type="countrycode"]

[useriploc type="region"]

[useriploc type="regionname"]

[useriploc type="city"]

[useriploc type="lat"]

[useriploc type="lon"]

[useriploc type="timezone"]

[useriploc type="currency"]

[useriploc type="isp"]

[useriploc type="browser"]

[useriploc type="os"]

[useriploc type="flag" height="auto" width="50px" vertical_align="baseline"]



As for the Flag shortcode, the height, width, and vertical_align attributes are optional. The default values for height and weight are auto and 50px, respectively. For the vertical_align attribute, baseline is the default value. You can, however, change the vertical_align attribute value to bottom, middle, or top based on the location where you want the flag to appear. Depending on your preference, you can pass one or both of these values to alter the flag's size.
