How to collect ip address in contact form builder

Asked by Scott Frank 1 year ago Last activity 1 year ago

I have a Form Builder contact form on my website. How do I collect the IP address from the sender? I would like the sender's IP address to be included in the email with the contact details.

Hi Scott,

by default, is not possible - so you have to customize Form Builder (site.php) file to get that info in new messages.

But, in my opinion, IP is needed, especially if you receive spam messages, and then by IP address you can block these wackos.


You can compare code used in Contact addon where that info is, and many EU webmasters were not happy about that becuase of misinterpretations GDPR law.
