    I’m new to WordPress and presently using WooCommerce for an Artist friend’s new website. I am very interested in your plugin but I have a message in WooCommerce settings, “The MaxMind GeoIP Database does not exist – Geolocation will not function. You can download and install it manually from https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/ to the path: /customers/d/f/8/koningenart.com/httpd.www/wp-content/uploads/GeoIP.dat”

    I have looked at the MaxMind website, but do not understand how the downloaded file needs to be put into my website files. Does your plugin automatically link to the GeoIPs or do I have to fix this missing Geolocation database issue first?

    Thanks in advance, John Pescod

  • Hi,

    In fact, I uploaded it in the wrong place. Today I saw that the exact place where to upload was also written in the red message. Now it’s done!

    Thank you for your reply ??

    Wow, thats wonderful. Be happy be Blessed.

    I wanted to say thank you to all those who have posted on this issue.

    I just encountered the same set of issues, but after installing GeoIP was receiving Warning: fread() expects parameter 2 to be integer, string given in…

    For those who might also encounter this problem, you have installed the wrong GeoIP.dat file as I had downloaded the GeoLite City .dat and simply renamed it to GeoIP.dat expecting it to function the same.

    Make sure you download the GeoLite Country Binary file only and upload it your wp-content/uploads via a file manager.

    The file can be found here (make sure to open and unzip the file before uploading): https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz

    Cheers!
