Basic Use

$userInfo = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip();
if ($userInfo->country->isoCode == 'de')
    echo 'Hallo! Schön dass Sie hier sind!';

CSS Use

Hide/Show text only if visitor from Germany:

In your CSS file:

.geoip { display: none !important; }
.geoip-country-UK .geoip-show-UK { display: block !important; }
.geoip-country-DE .geoip-show-DE { display: block !important; }

.geoip-hide { display: block !important; }
.geoip-country-UK .geoip-hide-UK { display: none !important; }
.geoip-country-DE .geoip-hide-DE { display: none !important; }

In your HTML (e.g. in the post content, when switching the editor to the HTML mode):

<div class="geoip geoip-show-DE">
This text is shown only in Germany
</div>
<div class="geoip-hide geoip-hide-DE">
This text is hidden only in Germany
</div>

You need to enable the option Add a country-specific CSS class to the <body>-Tag to make this work.
