How Post Author IP works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin records the IP address of the original post author when a post first gets created.
The admin listing of posts is amended with a new “Author IP” column that shows the IP address of the author who first saved the post.
The plugin is unable to provide IP address information for posts that were created prior to the use of this plugin.
