A) Installing the plugin - top

Installing the plugin is very easy just like any other wordpress plugin.
Connect to your hosting and upload the extracted zip file folder of the plugin into wp-content/plugins/
Then go to wp-admin->plugins->and activate WPML Autodetect & Redirect by IP Address

B) Mapping Countries & Languages - top

In order for our plugin to know which Language to suggest for which Country you'll have to setup mappings.

Fortunately, that's very easy just go to WP-ADMIN->WPML Autodetect Country by IP->Dashboard

Example: for Italy, choose language Italian... for Spain / Mexico choose language Spanish, etc.
Depends on which languages you have enabled on WPML

C) Action Type - top

There are two ways for this plugin to work
That's very easy just go choose from by going to WP-ADMIN->WPML Autodetect Country by IP->Settings

Popup: it will show a nice notification to let user pick if he wants to be redirected or not.
Redirect: it will redirect the user automatically to his language without asking!

D) Configuring Texts - top

Configure the heading, headline and button texts by going to WP-ADMIN->WPML Autodetect Country by IP->Settings

D) Configuring Button Colors - top

Configure Cancel & Continue button colors by going to WP-ADMIN->WPML Autodetect Country by IP->Settings

E) Upgrading from v1.3 to v1.4 - top

What's new?
Added ?geodebug=true parameter - add this to any url to see location detected.
Migrated to the new and fresh maxmind geolite v2 databases.

To upgrade, simply remove v1.3 from wp-admin->plugins and reinstall current version v1.4 as you did initially.
