7. Make sure that the zip-file has appeared on your desktop.
8. Rename the downloaded file to "GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip"
9. Using your FTP program, upload the extracted files to the /wp-content/uploads/geolite-country/ in your WordPress directory online.
10. Open your website admin dashboard. Open “Visitors Online” > “Settings” page, click the “Update now” button and wait for the result.

Note: in case of “Not enough rights to import from the GeoLite2-Country-Blocks-IPv4.csv file, cannot be imported” error, you should set rights 755 to the following folders: wp-content, plugins, visitors-online and 644 to their files. In such a case, the plugin’s script will have enough rights to upload the file. Follow this link to find out more: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions. |
