WP Cloudflare GeoIP Redirect

by webinvaders

Description

WP Cloudflare GeoIP Redirect plugin enables you to setup redirect for users from selected countries to specific URL.

Geolocation is done using Cloudflare IP Geolocation data.

Redirection is done using the php header() function and you can choose Temporary Redirect (307) or Moved Permanently (301).

In order to use this plugin you need to setup Cloudflare for your website and enable Cloudflare IP Geolocation service. More info in FAQ.

Installation

Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/wp-cloudflare-geoip-redirect directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
Use the CF Redirect>Options screen to configure the plugin

Faq

Do I need a Cloudflare account to use the plugin?

You don’t need CloudFlare account credentials for using plugin but you do need to have Cloudflare service active on your domain in order for plugin to get Geolocation user data and enabled Cloudflare IP Geolocation.

How to enable Cloudflare IP Geolocation

For info on how to configure Cloudflare IP Geolocation follow the link: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168236-Configuring-Cloudflare-IP-Geolocation

Will this plugin work with other Caching plugins?

Frankly we don’t know yet. As of v1.3 new HTTP header is added when redirection is enabled (Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate) but it’s on cache plugin to honor this setting

LiteSpeed Cache plugin workaround if redirection is not working

This issue is fixed by adding new rule to your .htaccess file before ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN section
‘
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* – [E=Cache-Control:vary=%{HTTP:CF-IPCountry}]
‘

Very appreciated to the developer for his plugin and support! This is the the best free solution for wp + Cloudflare with such functionality. The upcoming update comes with new mega features! Very recommend! Try by yourself, you'll get what I mean. All preferences are user-friendly, the plugin is lightweight with high code quality. Thank you so much!!!

it works perfectly!!

I tried a couple of redirect plugins but this was the only one that worked as expected. Tech support is superb cause they made it work perfectly in a multisite and LSCache enabled. Thank you so much for everything

Doesn't work

Plain and simple. CloudFlare IP Geolocation enabled. Plugin set up and settings saved. Country detected correctly and displayed on plugin settings page. Redirection not happening (no matter whether it's 307 or 301). Shame. Will have to do it by hand in .htaccess
