With a custom plugin I occasionally roll out changes where I don’t want to go through our sites manually. There’s rarely issues with that approach and I’ve done this with WP Statistics settings before as well. However, one option I seemingly can’t change this way is “GeoIP Collection” and I wonder why:
$wp_statistics = (array)get_option('wp_statistics');
$wp_statistics['geoip'] = 'on';
update_option('wp_statistics', $wp_statistics);“on” is the literal value the plugin itself sets if the checkbox is activated. The only other corresponding value, “GeoIP Database Update Source”, is on JSDeliver from the get-go by default. I could imagine that just by setting the value the database wouldn’t be initially downloaded; is that it? Is there a way to activate this programmatically to the same effect as if it were activated manually?
