    Hi Oscar

    Thanks for plugin – its working very well and am very satisfied.

    Looks like my previous developer has installed a dedicated plugin – Geolocation IP Detection by Yellow Tree (Benjamin Pick) and configured the free HostIP.info Web-API as the data source.

    I see we also have MaxMind Geolocation configured in Woocommerce.

    Presumably we don’t need both so wondering if you recommend one over the other and if we should deactivate the other?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,

    WooCommerce uses a geolocation function in its core code based on the MaxMind database. So, if you don’t use the “Geolocation IP Detection” plugin for another functionality included in your web, you can turn it off.
    Please test your on a staging site before deactivating the plugin on your production site.
