 * Hello,
 * yesterday I found in a backup of a WordPress site a ~3.8 MB SQL file ip2nation.
   sql.
 * **/wp-content/plugins/newstatpress/includes/includes/ip2nation.sql**
 * It was in a includes directory within the plugins includes directory.
 * When I watched out for the file on the server it was disappeared. Also the second
   includes directory was disappeared.
 * Is this a try to hack the site? Or is it a regular temporary file of NewStatPress
   plugin?
 * Thank You for helping.

 * This file was created on my server when I downloaded the IP2nation database (
   NewStatPress > Tools > IP2nation).
 * As long as this file is present in that directory, NewStatPress shows it as ‘
   Last version installed: 18/02/2015’ with an ‘Update’ button.
    When I delete the
   sql file, it shows ‘Last version installed: none’ with the ‘Download’ button.
 * I’m not sure how this file is used, all I can tell is that it didn’t create the
   two tables mentioned in the SQL file in my WordPress database..

 * Hi,
 * this is the official file that you can find here: [http://www.ip2nation.com/](http://www.ip2nation.com/)
 * It creates the ip2nation tables popolated with IPs and nations.
 * If you open it with an editor you will see SQL instructions for creating the 
   table and insert data in it.
 * It is downloaded when you click on Download ip2nation button and stay in include
   directory for givin information about the installed version.
 * thanks

 * Hi,
 * for this point we had decided to include the ip2nation sql directly into the 
   plugin and manage to provides sql updates if ip2nation will changes.
 * The option still remain as now that one user will choose if use or not it.
 * It will be implemented in next versions.
 * thanks
