WPML Redirect based on IP Country let’s you show content that your users understand!

The much needed feature for WPML:redirect by IP location (instead of browser language).

How is this different from the WPML browser detection option?

Instead of checking the browser language, we do check the real location by address!
Browser language can be erroneous as some people living in Spain can have their browser in English and it’s not relevant!

How WPML Redirect Based on IP Address Works?

When visitor enters your website, we automatically detect the country based on IP address ( instead of browser language ).

There are two action types

  • Notification Message – shows a popup with “Hello { COUNTRY }” and your customized message along with “show content in my language” and “no thanks” links
  • Redirect without notice – automatically switches the language for your visitor

Fully configurable – at your control!

  • Setup popup texts & translate them as well ( with WPML )
  • Configure OK & CANCEL button colors
  • Setup mappings ( which language to show for which country)

No caching please! No refunds will be provided if you don’t read this: thanks for acknowledging and accepting there’s no way to use geoip with caching.

Important: this can't work with a caching environment due to the dynamic nature of detecting IP Country which is different for every visitor. A caching plugin thinks everyone is from the same location. Geotargeting/Geolocation products will never play well with caching.
