GA4 shows the wrong country

It was already set to Yes

Well, this mystery just keeps getting weirder and weirder doesn’t it?

Ok, I might’ve found a fix for this, could you try the following?

In the file host-analyticsjs-local/includes/api/class-proxy.php on line 195 there’s a function called get_user_ip_address().

Replace that entire function (from private function get_user_ip_address() { to the closing } on line 212) with this:

private function get_user_ip_address()
{
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) {
        $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
    } elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {
        $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    } elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
	$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    } else {
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }

    if (is_array(explode(',', $ip))) {
        $ip = explode(',', $ip);

        return $ip[0];
    }

    return $ip;
}

This way, it’ll first look for a CloudFlare HTTP header. If that’s not present, it’ll continue its old flow.

Let me know how it goes!

It doesn’t work ?? It still thinks I’m from Saudi Arabia.
But thanks for your time!

Ok, last attempt. What if we switch it up a bit. Cause I’m seeing that CloudFlare handles the HTTP_X_FORWARDER_FOR better than HTTP_CLIENT_IP. So, change the function you pasted previously to this:

private function get_user_ip_address()
{
    if ($this->exists('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP')) {
        $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
    } elseif ($this->exists('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
	$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    } elseif ($this->exists('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
	$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    } else {
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }

    if (is_array(explode(',', $ip))) {
	$ip = explode(',', $ip);

        return $ip[0];
    }

    return $ip;
}

Wait! I found something!

I’ll add the geoid parameter to requests if CloudFlare’s GeoIP function is enabled from now on.

Ok! Are you adding it in the next update? Or in the code I have to edit?

No, I was thinking about waiting for 3 years and then suddenly release it! ??

Ofcourse I will release it in the next update! I’ll do a quick patch release later today.

ahah! I modified my comment and maybe you didn’t see the second question. I meant if I had to wait for the edited code to be tested on my website.
Anyway, thank you!

?? I was only kidding ofcourse. It must be the relief of finally being able to solve this issue! ??

Here’s hoping that v3.10.1 will resolve the issue you were having!

Let me know how it goes!

No, it’s not solving the problem ??

Whaaaat, how!? ??

Okay. It’s nearing midnight here and I need some rest. I’ll revisit this issue early next week.

Just looked at it again and there was a typo in my code :S

So, I just created a new release. Could you try again?

I also added a debug mode, so if it still doesn’t work, please enable debug mode (under Advanced Settings) and stealth mode, open up your website’s frontend, and then send me the contents of the wp-contents/caos-debug.log file using this form. Don’t forget to disable debug mode afterwards, because the file size will increase FAST!

Let me know how it goes!

It didn’t work…
I just sent you the log file
