 * Hi,
 * This plugin looks like just what I’ve looking for but I’ve spotted a few potential
   issues with the location of the database file:
 * In the Installation instructions it says:
 * > Upload database.bin to /wp-content/ip2location-redirection/ directory.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip2location-redirection/installation/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip2location-redirection/installation/)
 * Whereas I think the database currently has to reside in the IP2Location Redirection
   plugin folder?
 * Additionally it would perhaps be useful to make the path to the database file
   filterable so that it would be possible to location the database outside of the
   plugin folder. This way the database file will not be overwritten when the plugin
   is updated.
 * Many thanks
