Sanitize User IP
If the IP value returned from your server has a special character, you can sanitize user IP by using: wp_statistics_sanitize_user_ip
filter in your WordPress for getting real user IP from your $_SERVER.
For example: If your $_SERVER: 192.000.000.1, 192.000.000.2, 192.000.000.3 And your real IP is: 192.000.000.1, You can use a final filter like this:
add_filter( 'wp_statistics_sanitize_user_ip', 'sanitize_user_ip' );
function sanitize_user_ip( $user_ip ) {
$ip_list = explode( ",", $user_ip );
$user_ip = trim( $ip_list[0] );
return $user_ip;
}
Or if your $_SERVER: for=192.000.000.1;proto=http;host=site.com And your real IP is: 192.000.000.1, Use this one:
add_filter( 'wp_statistics_sanitize_user_ip', 'sanitize_user_ip' );
function sanitize_user_ip( $user_ip ) {
$regex = '/(?<=for=).*?(?=;)/';
preg_match( $regex, $user_ip, $ip );
$user_ip = $ip[0];
return $user_ip;
}
You can add each code on top of your activate theme functions.php.
