Shortcodes & PHP Not displaying correct data, but test is fine?

  • I am using the “Maxmind GeoIP Lite City (Automatic download & update)”.
    When I test my IP from the admin panel, its finding it fine, and when I do a lookup its finding the correct information. but on the frontend, if I use PHP Or shortcodes its displaying CA as the ISO code which is the location of the serer not the user! and its showing the IP as ::1, but its working fine in the admin panel!

    Its the plugin “WordFence” that if conficting and breaking it.
    How I get Geolocation IP Detection to not listen to Wordfence.
    This is the error in the settings, I do not want it to use this version.

    Backend and Frontend are using the same code, so my guess is that either page cache or reverse proxy is configured incorrectly:

    Wordfence – are you using the most recent versions of both Wordfence and the GeoIP Detection plugin?

    To answer your question – it is currently not possible to use different versions of the maxmind library in different plugins. It’s complicated …

    What is extreamly strange, is that I disabled Wordfence and the code started working on my frontend pages, then enabled it again and it continued to work?
    Now im scared to touch anything.
    And the errors are still shwoing in GeoIP.
    I have no idea how to get Wordfence to update their maxmind library.
    Would it be possible for you to force the update to update their library? its the same format between versions so there wont be any breaking code will there?
