This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to stop logging commenters' IP addresses, particularly those who don't use Apache or don't want to disable IP logging site-wide. It solves the problem of recording visitor IP addresses from comments without needing server-level modules like libapache2-mod-removeip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Remove IP

If you are reading this it's probably because you are interested on your commenters anonymity. If you don't, you don't need this plugin.

No, sorry. Try libapache2-mod-removeip if you use apache2.

No, you don't. The libapache-mod-removeip will hide the IP address from the commenters to wordpress, the same as this plugin does.

Sure, but I'm not sure that you really want to let google or wordpress.com register the IP address from your commenters. Your plugin is lame! Yep, I know. I had to make it work for a project that uses nginx as webserver and cannot switch to apache and we got tired of editing wordpress core files... so I needed it. And it's always nice to share :)
