Usage

Make sure:
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – YouÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re using the Forminator plugin by WPMU DEV.
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Your phone field is configured with International Format.
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – You do not set a default value for the phone field.

Once active, the phone field will automatically be pre-filled with the appropriate international calling code based on the userÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP.

External services

This plugin connects to the public IP geolocation service ipapi.co to detect the correct phone country calling code based on the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address. It is required to automatically prefill the Forminator phone field with the appropriate country code.

What data is sent and when
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – On page load where the Forminator phone field is present (and only when autodetect is enabled), the plugin makes a server-side request to https://ipapi.co/{IP}/country_calling_code/, where {IP} is the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address determined by your site. This request is used to retrieve the international calling code (e.g., +1, +44).

Provider, Terms, and Privacy
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Service: ipapi.co (Kloudend, Inc)
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Terms of Service: https://ipapi.co/terms/
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/

Notes
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – The request is performed from your server to ipapi.co, and includes the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address in the URL path. ipapi.co may retain standard web server logs as described in their privacy policy.
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – If the external service is unavailable or returns an error, the plugin falls back to leaving the field unchanged (or to your configured default, if set).
