Can we easily stop the plugin from sending the user IP address inside those default notification emails? Just trying to keep things super strict for privacy reasons without upgrading. Lmk if a setting exists. Hi @raven10 , Thanks for reaching out. WPForms Lite does not include the user’s IP address in notification emails by default. The default notification message only outputs the submitted form field values, so no IP is sent unless it’s been explicitly added. That said, the IP address can show up in emails if the {user_ip} smart tag has been added anywhere in your setup. We’d recommend doing a quick check in a few places: Form Builder → Settings → Notifications — check the message body Your form fields themselves — if any field’s default value uses {user_ip}, it would carry through into the notification email via {all_fields} If you spot {user_ip} anywhere in those areas, simply remove it and the IP will no longer appear in your emails. Hope this helps!
