## Description

Remove IP it’s a really-really-simple plugin to not log the IP address from the 
people that comment on your wordpress
 installation.

This plugin will be useful to people that cannot/or don’t want to use [libapache2-mod-removeip](http://riseuplabs.org/privacy/apache/)(
because you don’t use
 apache or don’t want to wipe out the IP logging on all vhosts).

## Installation

 1. Upload the removeip folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. voila

## FAQ

  Do I need this?

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.

  Is this going to annonymize the logs of my webserver?

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

  I installed libapache2-mod-removeip, do I need this plugin too?

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

  Can I use it with wordpress.com stats/google analytics?

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 🙂

The plugin does exactly what its name suggests: it removes the IP address from new
comments on your blog – not more and not less.
