IP address in the comments

Post by Madekozu » Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:10 am

With regard to the GDPR, it is unfortunately a very big problem that FlatPress saves the IP with the comments. Here Flatpress should get a setting during the configuration, whether you want to save the IP completely, anonymously or not at all.

I have implemented an emergency solution on my site, but of course this cannot be the permanent solution.

Code: Select all

 if ($v = utils_ipget()) {
$arr ['ip-address'] = $v;
}
Simply remove this line in the comments.php and no more IP's will be saved

Hey where do I find the comments.php file so I can remove this. This is a security risk

It's only a security risk for your wallet if you run your website in Europe ;)

The comments.php is in the root of your FlatPress

On your website: /blog/comments.php
