常见问题:
Do I need an API key to use this plugin?
No, the plugin works without an API key. However, obtaining a API key from IP-Sonar provides higher rate limits and more reliable service.
Where is vistor data stored?
Visitor data is stored in your WordPress database.
How long is visitor data stored?
Visitor data is automatically removed after 7 days to maintain privacy and keep your database clean.
Does this plugin comply with GDPR?
The plugin includes privacy considerations such as automatic data cleanup and configurable tracking settings. However, you should review your local privacy requirements and configure the plugin accordingly.
What information is collected about visitors?
The plugin collects IP addresses, user agent strings, page URLs, visit timestamps, and referrer information (traffic sources). When available, it also stores geolocation information obtained from the IP-Sonar API and search terms from search engine referrers.
Can I disable tracking?
Yes, tracking can be disabled through the plugin settings page.
How does country-based access control work?
The Access Control page allows you to enable country-based filtering with two modes: blocklist (block visitors from selected countries) or allowlist (allow only visitors from selected countries). When enabled, the plugin checks each visitor's country and either allows or denies access based on your settings. Visitors from undetected countries (rare cases where location can't be determined) are always allowed access.
Can I block all countries except specific ones?
Yes, use the "Allow List" mode in the Access Control page. Select the countries you want to allow, and all other countries will be blocked.
