Just make sure to replace the form ID with your actual value (see Note).</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission&#39;, &#39;remove_ip&#39;, 10, 2); function remove_ip($entry, $form) { global $wpdb; //NOTE: replace 79 below with your actual form ID.

I'm bummed (and surprised, frankly) that we can't just shut off the IP collection if we want to.</p> <p>Can someone recommend another easy to use form submission tool that does NOT send the IP address? I've gotta get this done.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/any-way-to-not-capture-ip-address-on-certain-forms#post-54346 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:18:58 +0000 Rob Harrell 54346@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not sure if there is a way to not have the IP come through, however it probably can be deleted using the after_submission hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/any-way-to-not-capture-ip-address-on-certain-forms#post-54077 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:01:24 +0000 SoundsGood 54077@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks dNb, but I'm not a programmer so I'm really hoping someone from GravityForms can help with this.</p> <p>Here's the thing: the site is for a police department. They need one form that DOES capture the ip address and one form that DOES NOT capture. Apparently it's illegal to capture ip addresses on anonymous forms, and since they're the police... well, you know.</p> <p>Anyone ??</p> <p>Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/any-way-to-not-capture-ip-address-on-certain-forms#post-53876 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:53:10 +0000 dnb 53876@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi-<br /> I asked what I think is a similar question a while back and gave a proposal for an answer in my <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/anonymous-feedback-form" rel="nofollow">posting</a> that I haven't tried yet (was waiting to hear back from support).

Normally this is a good thing, but I've got a situation (with just one form) where it CANNOT be collected for legal reasons. So...</p> <p>Is there any way to NOT capture the IP Address on just ONE form on a site? Again, this is not for all the forms on the site, just one in particular.</p> <p>Thanks... </p>
