    for a GeoIP2 citydatabase. After obtaining the database uncompress it before installation.
  • To use the webservice you’ll need to obtain a user ID and license key for GeoIP2 Precision Services .

Installation

  1. Copy the Plugin directory to your wordpress plugins directory (usually wp-content/plugins)
  2. Optionally copy your MaxMind binary database to the database subdirectory inside the plugin root direcory (GeoSwitch/database).
    The database should be uncompressed.
  3. In the WordPress administration settings search for the GeoSwitch configuration page:
  4. Select the type of geocoding service to use (local database or webservice).
  5. Enter the name of the database or the user ID and license key depending on the service you’ve selected.
  6. Set the units to use for distance calculations (kilometer or miles).

Note: if you use the local database you should update it periodically.
