If I use the paid GeoIP2 City database or web service which includes postal codes, can I use the postal code as a condition in the shortcode? https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoswitch/ Hi jmtmurphey, There is currently no support for postal codes in the plugin. I’ll add them in the next update. However you should not overestimate the accuracy of IP geocoding. The database might give you the location of the user interchange, or the location of the ISP data center. They might be quite far from the actual location of the user, a single postal code might be too narrow to be useful (the same is true for suburbs). Question: From a Blog listing all my posts, how can I show a a group of them by geoLocation using the plugin?
