Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste 3 grotere versies van WordPress**. Mogelijk
wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Ook kunnen er compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

 [M.F. Jong](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mfjtf/) 14 juli 2018

Even though this plugin is not updated for several years it works just perfect. 
We use it on our support pages so clients can see their own IP address when we need
it.

The plugin worked as expected without any issues giving accurate information about
the site visitors IP address, should be a great solution for those that need it.

I thought I would create a simple plugin,that does what its meant to do, it's simple
and it works. Working on a few issues to do with 'shell_exec()' but apart from that
it works.

As promised, the plugin has been revised/updated and returned to it's roots of being
a plugin designed to show one's IP and doing it correctly and effectively. Glad 
to see we were able to get things sorted! Thank you so much for listening and working
with feedback, author! Updated to 5 stars for doing what it's meant to do, simple
and well! ORIGINAL REVIEW ( 1 Star ) Created support topic over 2 months ago. https://
wordpress.org/support/topic/disabled-shell_exec Even went so far as to attempt to
contact him via his personal site to ensure he was made aware of this problem and
support topic via http://www.keith-griffiths.com/contact-me No reply at all. Creator
boasts "Any suggested updates I'll consider in each build." but can't be bothered
to provide support for an issue that has arisen specifically from this plugin. 1
star, because no lower rating is available, due to errors and nonexistent support.
