Disregard certain IP addresses

Hi @knodderdachs,

your own visits are not counted if you are logged in:
https://github.com/pluginkollektiv/statify/wiki/en-FAQ#which-areas-are-excluded-from-counting

If you want to exclude a specific IP address, you can use this filter for it (if you know some PHP):

All the best,

Hi Torsten,

I added this to the functions.php of my child theme and it works. Is this the fastest solution or is there a way to speed it up?

$statify_ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$my_ip = "::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
add_filter(
    'statify__skip_tracking',
    function() {
        if ( $statify_ip === $my_ip ) {
            return true;
        }
	
        return false;
    }
);

Hi @knodderdachs,

I’m not sure about your way to get the IP:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4262081/serverremote-addr-gives-server-ip-rather-than-visitor-ip

The filter function looks good though.

All the best,

Hi @zodiac1978,

thanks for helping.

Unfortunately, I found out that the code I posted above doesn’t work correctly. If I remove the “” from the $my_ip variable it doesn’t count anything and with the “” it counts all visits. Strange.

I reverted everything again and will now delete the entries in the database manually if I have to check anything without being logged in.

Argh! There is a plugin called “Statify Blacklist” that does exactly what I want (and has even more options to filter out unwanted database entries).

Life can be so easy ??
