  • Shows country only

    Doesn't work. Fix it. Don't post plugins that don't work. [svip_location type=”city”] shows Country.

  • not working - only shows Country in Every Field, except IP

    Everything is in the title ... Plugin works, but limited to showing only Country - in every field. - So If you want to show only IP, and maybe country - this can work. Otherwise - not
