How the extension works

The extension detects your IP address and the Protocol Version (v4 or v6) used.

Your country code  is then determined using the downloaded DB from https://dev.maxmind.com. This is cached for 1 hour.

Filtering content by Shortcode

You can use any of the following inside a WordPress editor, or a shortcode enabled field.

[geo_content country=”ZA”] You are in South Africa [/geo_content]

[geo_content country=”US”] You are in the US [/geo_content]

Filtering Template Tags by location

Replace country code with the 2 digit country code.

  • United States = US
  • United Kingdom = GB
  • South Africa = ZA

<?php 
   if ( lsx_geo_is_country( $country_code ) ) {
       // Do code
   }
?>


Pre-populated form fields with Caldera Forms

Add in one of the following custom CSS classes to the field you wish to pre-populate. The filters only work with the “text” and “dropdown” type classes.

  • .lsx-geo-ip
  • .lsx-geo-country

Display location-specific Nav Menu items

Firstly create a menu and assign it to a menu location. You will add a custom link to the menu and several child menu items, so it creates a drop down on the frontend.

  • .lsx-geo
  • .lsx-geo-parent
  • .lsx-geo-default
  • .lsx-geo-{country_code} e.g “lsx-geo-za”
  • .lsx-geo-ex-{country_code} e.g “lsx-geo-ex-us”
