Hey Pippins, hopefully this isn't a dumb question - can this be modified so that only I can see the IP address of the visitor and record it somewhere, rather than it being displayed to the user on my wordpress site? It purely because I know competitors are clicking on my adwords costing me fortunes, but I'm don't want to spend money on tracking software, cheers, Jamessy

@jamesmcinally this function simply returns the IP address. on its own it doesn't display it or store it etc. if you're just looking to log a list of IP addresses visiting your site, you should be able to do this more efficiently through your web traffic logs.
