What It Does
This plugin displays the memory limit, current memory usage, WordPress Memory Limit, IP address and PHP version in the admin footer.
You can easily see in the admin footer the IP where this WordPress installation is running. Very useful if you have many WordPress installations across several servers and IP addresses.
The memory usage and total available memory to the WordPress installation is shown in the admin footer. If memory usage is over 75% the percentage is shown in a light red and if the memory usage is over 90% the percentage is shown in red. So you can always control with one look if there is enough memory available or if action has to be taken. It also displays the WordPress memory limit to give you more information.
Besides the IP address and the memory you can also see the PHP version and the type of Operating System where it is running.
You can translate the plugin into your own language. So far English and Spanish translations are included. Just translate the .po file in the /lang/ folder.

We couldn’t find a plugin that would give us the functionality we were looking for:
1) IP address display in footer of WordPress admin.
2) Total memory and memory usage displayed in the admin footer, without dashboard plugins.
3) Easy translation of the plugin into other languages. So far English and Spanish translations are included.
You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section.
The plugin should not be used together with other plugins with similar funcionalities like: WP-Memory-Usage.
Please use with WordPress MultiSite at your own risk, as it has not been tested.
The PHP version should be at least 5.3. If PHP version is lower than 5.3 there is an error message shown and plugin is not activated.
Of course we do. That’s why we created it. 😉
