I took the liberty of removing the “resolved” status, since the issue is not resolved yet.

Please let me know what if anything is off about this so I can contact my hosting provider if necessary.
Once the issue is truly resolved, I will mark this thread as such. Thank you.
I can’t see any variables that may cause IP detected as 127.0.0.1 from our headers. Please enable the Debugging log in the plugin and check the “debug.log” for the possible details.
Sorry for the confusion. 127.0.0.1 is from my LOCAL machine, where the plug-in is working fine if I input a real IP address to the main function. I only mentioned it as background as to how I got to testing it on a “live” site.
The issue is on the LIVE server, which is the link I provided. Whether I pass it a valid IP or have the plug-in “auto check,” the JSON object comes back as NULL.
is there a particular library or server module that the plugin relies on?
It looks like the variables are not saved into $_SESSION. Can you dump the values for debugging?
This is all I got from $_SESSION (using a foreach loop to traverse the array):
$_SESSION[ 'ip2location_variables_174.212.172.25' ]:
And here is the var_dump version:
array(1) { ["ip2location_variables_174.212.172.25"]=> string(0) "" }
Here is debug.log… Obviously ignore the errors caused by CORE. The only stuff related to your plugin has to do with the IP2LOCATION_COUNTRY_SHORT key.

Looks like there is no geolocation result in the array. Can you look into the “debug.log” generated in the plugin folder?
Well, this is interesting. When I try to enable the log in the plugin settings, it won’t save the change after pressing “Save changes” button. If I leave the screen (i.e. go to General settings) and come back, the box is unchecked once more.
On my laptop, this doesn’t happen. Comparing WordPress databases, the one on the live server is missing the ip2location_variables_debug_log_enabled entry in the options table, whereas the one on my local machine has this entry with a value of 1 (enabled).
I manually entered a row into the table to try to enable the option, it worked in that now the settings screen shows it is enabled, but it still does not generate a debug.log file in the plugin folder. I have one in wp-content from enabling WP_DEBUG_LOG in wp-config.php.
The plugin seems to not be connecting with the SQL DB on my live server very well. I uninstalled the plugin, but its entries were still there, so I deleted those too. I reinstalled the plugin, and it only reinserted ip2location_variables_database into the options table. Once again, checking the “Enable log” option does nothing.
I AM AN INCREDIBLE IDIOT!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!
I am SO SO SO SO sorry… This is a real ID10T error.
On my local machine, I hadn’t realized I selected the Look up mode followed by hitting “Save changes,” which is what injected the options into the table, and the reason why it was working fine there.
When I manually inserted the options on my live server, it started working. I then smacked my forehead very hard. I deleted the plugin, removed all the options from the DB again, and reinstalled. This time I selected the look up mode, updated the BIN file, and then hit “Save changes.”
I feel very bad I wasted your time. But perhaps add that bit of instruction in the Settings screen so that morons like me don’t have this problem in the future?
Thanks again for all your help, and once again I profusely apologize for wasting your time.
Good to hear that! It’s great that the plugin is finally working.
