Tracking the User's IP Address
By default, Convert Forms records the visitor's IP address for every form submission. The IP is stored alongside the rest of the submission data, so you always have it on hand for spam checks, fraud investigations, or matching a submission to a specific visitor.
Viewing a submission's IP address
The IP address is part of each submission's details. To see it:
- Log into your Joomla backend.
- Go to Components → Convert Forms → Submissions.
- Click the submission's ID to open it.
-
Look under the Submission Details panel. The IP Address is listed there.
Showing the IP address as a column
If you check IP addresses often, you can add an IP Address column to the Submissions list so you don't have to open each submission one by one.
- Select a form in the Submissions list so the Columns button appears in the filter bar.
- Click Columns.
- Type IP in the search box to find the IP Address column.
- Move it to the Shown in table section.
- Click Save.
The column layout is saved per form, so the IP Address column stays visible the next time you view that form's submissions. For more on arranging columns, see Customizing the Submissions List Columns.
Disabling IP tracking for GDPR
If your privacy policy requires you not to store IP addresses, you can turn this off. Once disabled, Convert Forms stops recording the IP for new submissions (IPs already stored are not removed).
- Log into your Joomla backend.
- Go to Components → Convert Forms.
- Click the Options button in the top-right toolbar.
- Open the Security tab.
-
Set Store IP Addresses to No.
- Click Save & Close.
