GeoIP database not updated

Hi @lordvader,

With every new release of Wordfence, the GeoIP database is automatically updated.

However, if you would like to manually update it, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Unzip GeoLite2-Country.mmdb from this link

https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz

2. Replace the file located at /wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb

3. Remove the folder /wp-content/wflogs/

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your advice.

Do I have to place the GeoLite2-City.mmdb also there? Because now it’s not.

I took a look at the dflogs folder and noticed that there were several files
contained information or mentioned something like:
“This file is used by the Wordfence Web Application Firewall”.

I’m just being careful before going to delete stuff.

F.y.i. I use another plugin that also uses Geoip. Seems a good idea to put the database in a shared folder.

Thanks again.

Regards,

LV

Hi again,

Can you try these steps?

1. Copy the downloaded GeoLite2-City.mmdb into wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/
2. Delete the wp-content/wflogs folder
3. Go into Wordfence -> All Options

The wflogs folder should automatically regenerate, and the new GeoLite2-City.mmdb should be in-use.

I noticed that there’s only GeoLite2-Country.mmdb in wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/.
If we add GeoLite2-City.mmdb would Wordfence also update it upon plugin update or just ignore/delete it because Wordfence only uses Country database?
