## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/shif8-ipintel` directory, or
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Navigate to the plugin settings page and define your settings
 4. Once enabled, the system should trigger for every site visit.

## FAQ

  I tested it on myself and its not working for me!

If you are logged in as an administrator, the entire system ignores your connection.
This is by design to avoid accidentally locking yourself out of your own site! To
test, try in a different browser or try logging out (but be careful).
