If you are using the wp-useronline plugin for WordPress and recently upgraded, you will notice that the IP Addresses vanished. All you can see is that it is a guest or bot and what page they are on.

To correct this issue, open the wp-useronline.php file in notepad and locate the following line

$user_level = intval($current_user->wp_user_level);

Notice wp_user_level. That wp_ needs to be changed to the prefix your blog uses in your database. If you are unsure what we are talking about then you most likely did not install the blog. When you install a WordPress blog you are asked what prefix you want to use. You can find out what that is if you have access to your database using phpMyAdmin.

Simply change that line with your prefix and save the file. Then upload and write over the file and your issue will be resolved.
