Wordpress to show visitor's IP in the title - php

Question

My question: Is there any way of showing the visitor's IP address in the title of a page on Wordpress? What I've done so far is this: My IP Lookup.
Is there any plugin or a tweak that I can do to?
Here's the file: Header.php
Please help!!

Answer 1

I'm the author of the theme and its framework. I'm just going to modify the code that Matthew gave you a bit. For future updates to the theme and framework, it's better if you can avoid actually editing header.php in your Child theme, but instead utilize the framework's hook system:
http://www.wpjumpstart.com/tutorial/primary-framework-action-hooks/
themeblvd_title is one of the framework's actions. It has a default function already hooked onto it that displays the title the way you see it now. What you want to do is fairly easy because you're not actually modifying that default function, but instead just adding onto the action.
If the concept of action hooks in general is completely foreign to you, definitely check out this article -- www.wpjumpstart.com/tutorial/actions/ -- Understanding these basic WordPress development concepts is really going to expand what you're going to be able to do moving forward with your customizations.
So to accomplish what Mathew said, you'd do the following from the functions.php of your Child theme:
function my_title_addon() {
if (is_page(10)) { //Check if we are on the correct page
echo '|'; //Just a spacer between the default title and your addition
do_shortcode('[shortcode]');
}
}
add_action( 'themeblvd_title', 'my_title_addon' );
There's also one big thing to note here, as well. I noticed on your site, you're using Alyeska 2.0. You should update to the latest version Alyeska 2.1 posted last week on ThemeForest, which incorporates v2.1 of the framework. Inside is a new sample child theme that incorporates a slightly modified structure, as outlined in this video -- vimeo.com/41331677
If you do not use this new child theme structure, the above code I posted will add your IP shortcode to the start of themeblvd_title, which isn't what you want. If you elect to keep your current theme version and Child theme structure, the above add_action needs to have a priority higher than the default 10 like this:
function my_title_addon() {
if (is_page(10)) { //Check if we are on the correct page
echo '|'; //Just a spacer between the default title and your addition
do_shortcode('[shortcode]');
}
}
add_action( 'themeblvd_title', 'my_title_addon', 11 ); // Higher priority so it comes after default title function

Here is how you can use a filter hook to modify the title.
Add this in a theme functions.php file or one of your own plugins:
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'add_ip_to_title', 10, 3 );
function add_ip_to_title($title, $sep = '', $location = '') {
return $title . $sep . "visitor IP info here";
}

Edit your header.php file in your theme. That is where the tag is generated. It should be wp-content/themes/alyeska-child/header.php or if it isn't there wp-content/themes/alyeska/header.php.
If you post the code that is generating your title (or your header.php file if you can't tell), we can tell you where to add it specifically.
If the IP info is generated via a shortcode, you can use do_shortcode('[shortcode]) in your PHP to run the shortcode directly with PHP.
If you wanted to do this on just one page, you would have to detect the correct page and conditionalize the change to the title. You need to know a page identifyer for the page you want, but you would use something like:
<title>
<?php
themeblvd_title();
if (is_page(10)) { //Check if we are on the correct page
echo '|'; //Just a spacer between the default title and your addtion
do_shortcode('[shortcode]');
}
?>
</title>

To add to some of the other answers, to get their IP address, it could vary a little bit depending upon your server environment. Just make a file called test.php and put it in a web accessible place:
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
Then, look for a place where you can retrieve the user's IP address. If your PHP is running in a reverse proxy, unfortunately, the normal place will just have localhost's IP. But there are a lot of other environmental variables you can grab the IP from. Here are the places to check:
"Apache Environment" or "HTTP Headers Information" or under the "PHP Variables" section.
Then, if you see the real IP address (compare the address shown on the info page with what you might get from whatismyip.com) then you can access that value in the function described above by drew010 using one of PHP's predefined variables.
