Any recommendations for a Wordpress plugin that lists the IP address of each visitor to any given page on your website? Needs to be at an individual page level rather than for the site as a whole and real-time ideally. Thanks

I don't know about the plugin. But be careful with the whole privacy issue, it is probably not completely legal with all the GDPR rules.
Fair point, background is that I get hit occasionally by bursts of bonus abuse/fraud, which I understand happens to a number of us, but really pisses me off. Trying to think of ways to identify visitors quickly when it happens and block them from accessing the site if I can reasonably identify them. Likely just pushes the issue elsewhere rather than eradicating but needs must with volumes low.Quote:

cPanel Lobby > Metrics > Visitors
The URL accessed (page) etc., etc., time and IP ;)
With regards to GDPR rules, I doubt collecting anonymous IP's is illegal. If it was, it would break the internet!
As far as blocking these offending IP's, you need another php script to do that.
Or have someone code all the above into a single script with a simple, back-end page admin area. Cost: $300 - $500 should do it.
Cheers Dave, yeah kind of coming to the conclusion that I’ll have to get some 3rd party help on it!Quote:
