Contact Form 7: Add Country By IP Shortcode To Email

Copy this code to your theme’s functions.php and use [country_by_ip] shortcode/tag ANYWHERE to print the visitor’s country by his IP address with CF7.

It uses ipinfo.io’s free API, detects the visitor’s IP address and adds CF7 shortcode/tag to use in the email body for example.

Enjoy!

wpcf7_add_shortcode('country_by_ip', 'custom_cf7_country_by_ip', true);
function custom_cf7_country_by_ip( $tag='' ) {
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	$country = '';
	$city = '';
	$details = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}/json"));
	if(isset($details->country)) { $country = $details->country; $city = $details->city; };
	return ( ($country)?($city.', '.$country):'' );
