Simple function to redirect based on country code WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I'm struggling to get any of my code to work, and I want to avoid using a plugin.
Working answer gets full prize.
---------
<strong>The Brief</strong>
I need a function to go in my functions.php to redirect visitors by country code to another address.
I only need to do it for one country with is Italy IT
But if the visitor is not based in Italian territory - then I need the redirect function to do absolutely nothing.
if ( $countyCode = 'IT' ) {
header 'Location: http://www.mysite.it';
}
Can anyone help put something together?
I will test by changing the country code to my county code.
Many thanks
Josh

Thanks for your code.
I just tried putting this in my functions.php and it do nothing?
$meta = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));
if ($meta['geoplugin_countryCode']=='EN') {
header('Location: http://mysite.co.uk');

Where you added that code?
<?php
$meta = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));
echo '<pre>';
print_r($meta);
echo '</pre>';
if ($meta['geoplugin_countryCode']=='EN') {
header('Location: http://mysite.co.uk');
}
?>
Add those three lines to print all the geo location data. and check what you get for geoplugin_countryCode

This is the simple answer that I was after! Perfect!
I printed the results and the count code being return was GB for Great Britain.
I was using EN for england.
Thanks for you answer!
