Is this plugin abandoned?
It is the best redirect plugin out there – when it works.
The plugin needs an update obviously.

Are you planning on updating it in the future?

Maybe push the plugin to Github and let other developers keep it updated? ??

This plugin works amazingly with some IPs around the world, however it needs an update of database of IP classes because some countries like Germany, Switzerland, Belgium don’t work at redirection.
PLEASE UPDATE THE PLUGIN!

Hi.
This looks like a great plugin, but when I installed it I very often get this error:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in ...../wp-content/plugins/geographical-redirect/geo-redirect.php on line 37

Note: I run WordPress 5.0.3.

I looked at that line and it says:
$this->referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

In order to remove it I changed to:
$this->referer = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : '';

I wanted to ask you if this change impacts other functionality.
Otherwise, if you want and think it’s useful, you can add it in a next plugin update.

Thank you for your answer.

Hello, first of all this is great plugin! I have a suggestion to add new option: Redirect based on browser language where the redirection would be based on browser prefered language settings instead of IP geolocation. Thank you.

Hey guys!

I wanna redirect only a couple pages from my site to a different site based on location. Is there a way to not wordward for the whole site but just for certain pages?

Thanks!

I have a WordPress site that needs to redirect users to a sub domain instance based on location, which is on the same server.

From what I can see, I have the settings as follows:

Australia: Static URL | https://domain.com/au

Using Tunnel Bear, I am checking the redirect, but this isn’t working.

Am I missing something here?

Hi,

is the geoip database used by the plugin periodically updated or this task must be manually performed?

In case that updates must be manually performed, where can I get the most recently updated database for download?

Thank you.

hii,
my site is multilingual so i need to redirect users of korea to korean language so i had applied the redirect condition acc to country using site url that redirect korean users directly to https://buyfromindia.net/?lang=ko.
for the first time it works good then for second time it doesnot redirect and shows english page instead of korean page and then for third time it shows error-
This page isn’t working
buyfromindia.net redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Please help me.

The problem is that WP ENGINE caches all Pages with an cookie starting with “wordpress_”, so after an redirect from the homepage NO pages are cached any more.

I would recommend a hook to change the name of the cookie

We have integrated a multi network project, hosted at WPEngine.

However we are frequently facing an issue with redirection. Due to caching.

The problem is the redirection to respective Geo location does not occur.

Can there be any sort of work around so that we can address the problem.

I have a problem, I have the pluggin installed in my main site inirvaclothing.com and want the users from Venezuela get redirected to ve.inirvaclothing.com

Hi guys,

Thanks for helping out and creating this plugin. I’m having trouble understanding how to use the plugin properly though. I have three websites for the same country – .com, .co.uk & .com.au.

People keep going to our .com because it was the original website but I want everyone to be redirected to the country they are in so ip address.

I can’t figure out what to do in the country part etc. Can someone please talk me through it and put down beginners points. Would be much appreciated!!

I’ve one more issue and I don’t know how to solve it, so I’d really appreciate if you can help me with this.

I’m using WPML on my site and I want to redirect users to their country language.
I want to use WPML with subdomains, so each language should be accessed by lang.site_url.com
This is working when this plugin is turned off, but when I turn it on, I’m getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error when my country language is found. If it’s not found, there is no redirection, which is ok, I’ve set Default redirect to none.

Do you know what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve found this plugin very useful, but I noticed that I’m not able to access wp-admin when I’m not logged in, even with /wp-admin?no_redirect flag.

I saw that plugin is using is_admin() to avoid redirect, but it’s not enough since is_admin() will return false when trying to access wp-login.php. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/is_admin#Notes

Hi,

I would like to redirect users from Austria landing on .de to .at domain. But to the exact url example: example.de/product/spoon redirect to example.at/product/spoon.

What redirect options should I choose?

And where can we test? We need to ping the website from a Austrian based webbrowser / server.

Kind regards,

Hi, can you look at adding support for widget areas, I have a blog where I want to display one set of sidebar and footer widget areas to a certain ip region, and a different set to another. Currently I only see site wide redirection, not individual control?

Does this only redirect by country or is it possible to redirect by US city or state?

I am wanting to redirect people that live in a particular city or state to a area of the site specific to their city or state.

If this doesnt handle that can you recommend a plugin that does please?

Hello

The plugin does what I need. There is only one problem. I need to have more character within the option value.
The Option Value is limited to 3 characters (–> https://prnt.sc/d82hnu) but I need 5 to set the desired value of “de-ch”.

Could you please fix that limitation in an update or is there a workaround?

Hi there,

Thanks for providing a great plugin to the WP community!

I was wondering if this plugin works with CloudFlare’s IP Geolocation function?

I know there’s often issues with cache settings and geo redirects, but perhaps, by using CloudFlare’s IP Geolocation function, this could be solved?

Here’s more about IP Geolocation:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168236-What-does-CloudFlare-IP-Geolocation-do-

I would contribute with a solution to this myself if only I had the skills, however I hope that suggesting it is helpful.

Many thanks.

Hi, is there any way to edit the PHP of the “redirect once” option so that my website can re-direct to a different page once per day OR once per session? Or is there another way to do it?

Thanks
