Hi Oliver i was wondering if its possible to get the IP address when an order received?
23 April, 2015 at 7:08 pm #9255at the moment, no (not without a bunch of additional coding anyway)
however, i will put it on my list of ideas to optionally capture user data such as ip address, browser used etc, as it might well come in useful in certain circumstances
can’t give you any ETA though as to when this will be avaulable
23 April, 2015 at 7:11 pm #9256Hi thank you. is it possible for my developer to add this code on the existing order history to obtain this information when and order being submitted. so the current order history will have the IP address with it.
23 April, 2015 at 7:27 pm #9257no, it doesn’t work like that
23 April, 2015 at 7:29 pm #9258well, of course he could , but things would have to be added in various places to do this. not just in the order history
23 April, 2015 at 7:31 pm #9259Please can you give me some advice what is the best option to captcha the IP address when an order submitted. i thought about adding plugin for login that will enable the get the IP address as last result. i would rather keep it without having to register and just get ip address when order submitted. many thanks
23 April, 2015 at 7:38 pm #9260•well, of course he could , but things would have to be added in various places to do this. not just in the order history.
That’s great. Can you please shed some light on name of the few various places code need to be added so he can jump start without wasting time.
23 April, 2015 at 7:57 pm #9261you are misunderstanding.
he/she would have to hack the core files (which is never a good idea)
23 April, 2015 at 8:03 pm #9262Thank you Olly. Please can you advise me how can I get the IP address with order without having to access the core files. I really need it my client receiving orders with false details
23 April, 2015 at 8:06 pm #9263> I really need it my client receiving orders with false details
and how does an ip address help exactly ?
23 April, 2015 at 8:11 pm #9264Can block this individual accessing the domain.

depends on what the issue is….(in any case, it’s not my plugin so i have no idea)
>Can block this individual accessing the domain.
not if he/she then just uses a proxy or has a dynamic ip address or uses any other ip spoofing …
what’s worse, if you block an ip address and that ip is – at some point – allocated to someone else you will block that someone else who has done nothing wrong…
in short, this is a very crude way to do this.
if your client really gets a lot of fake orders, i would – if i were him – only accept credit card payments. not 100% foolproof of course as cc’s can be stolen etc, but a much better approach i would have thought
23 April, 2015 at 8:26 pm #9267one question springs to mind:
is your client already using wppizza and gets fake orders, or are we talking about something hypothetical ?23 April, 2015 at 8:31 pm #9268Site is not live yet I’m covering all security points give robust security option 2nd to none. The IP address will not work I guess.
23 April, 2015 at 8:36 pm #9269then we are talking about something that is not really likely to happen to start off with.
wppizza uses javascript.
spambots (99% or so) do not.
so they will never get to an orderpage where they could submit a fake order (as there will never be anything in the cart)if an actual human adds things to cart and presses submit, that that’s of course something else entirely, but in that case you cannot do anything about it anyway…
in short, it sounds to me like you are trying to solve a non-exiting problem…
23 April, 2015 at 8:37 pm #9270This reply has been marked as private.23 April, 2015 at 8:42 pm #9271Correct there are are not live existing issues I’m making hypothetical case to robust my security as my food portal will be better than just eat and hungry house. Please help me with best advice to establish a unlimited food portal .
23 April, 2015 at 8:45 pm #9272> Please help me with best advice to establish a unlimited food portal .
sorry, but that really is something you need to figure out for yourself.>Do you know why just eat and hungry house forces to login ?
because they want the customers data to spam them …..(or – ok – to be able to offer them “other things you might like ” etc etc )
23 April, 2015 at 8:48 pm #9273Olly thank you so much for clearing my mind. i was thinking i must need security and sign up by talking to i don’t really need all that you have covered it all.
