Feature request to remove mmdb file

    Love this plugin but it generates a 113MB .mmdb file in the uploads folder for geo tracking. Some of my sites are on servers that are short on space so this can have a sizeable impact, especially if on-server backups are made.

    Would love to have a setting to turn off geo tracking and delete this file!

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for using Independent Analytics!

    As long as you are okay with foregoing geotracking, then this should be doable. Right now, IA auto-downloads the mmdb file, so if it’s manually deleted, it will see it’s missing and re-download it immediately. In our next major update, we can try adding support for a constant you can define in wp-config.php to disable geotracking and remove the mmdb file.

    Hi Brian,

    We just released version 2.11.2 with this feature added. You can include the following line of code in your wp-config.php to disable geotracking and remove the mmdb file: 

    define('IAWP_DISABLE_GEO_TRACKING', true);
