Description
Allows the IP address of the client to be modified. Use this filter if the server is behind a proxy.
Usage
add_filter( 'gform_ip_address', 'your_function_name' );
Parameters
$ip string
The IP being used.
Examples
1. Use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
Use this if you are behind a proxy. This example will use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, allowing the visitor IP to be displayed instead of the proxy IP. This is just an example valid for a common scenario, if it』s not working for you, contact with your host support for assistance.
add_filter( 'gform_ip_address', 'filter_gform_ip_address' );
function filter_gform_ip_address( $ip ) {
// Return the IP address set by the proxy.
// E.g. $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] or $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']
return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
2. Prevent the IP address being saved
add_filter( 'gform_ip_address', '__return_empty_string' );
3. Use CloudFlare』s CF-Connecting-IP header
According to CloudFlare』s documentation, the client (visitor) IP address is passed using the CF-Connecting-IP header, use the snippet below to make Gravity Forms use this HTTP header.
add_filter( 'gform_ip_address', 'cloudflare_gform_ip_address' );
function cloudflare_gform_ip_address( $ip ) {
// Return the IP address provided by CloudFlare's CF-Connecting-IP header.
return $_SERVER['CF-Connecting-IP'];
}
