Exclude your own IP adres

[marcel1974]

Hey guys,

I have downloaded and installed the addon 'Advanced Stats'. I wonder if it's possible to exclude your own IP adres form the count? Now when I visit my own website this also counts as a visit.

I hope somebody can help me.

Thx,
Marcel van Leeuwen

Marce,

for sure you can edit that Addon, if you understand Advanced Stats

but how can you be sure about "your IP" ?

1) IPs are distributed randomly when using an ISP provider
2) more than one domain can have the same IPs if they use shared hosting

I would just substract one visit per day in my mind and I am done ;=)

the IP adress of my domain www.amvanleeuwen.nl is 87.249.104.90. I understand the code but I don't now the code to exclude this ip from the count.

the advanced stats counts everything. visits, pings, etc. even a lifeping from blo.gs or technorati or rss readers requests are counted as a visit.
on the other hand your domain server cannot visit itself. it would be a loopback which doesn't make any sense. how should this work? :-))

He wants to exclude own home/office IP from counting (if I good understand).

yes, that's what I'm guessing too ;)

The code in book_visitor (functions.php) is probably where you should start looking.
