Prepare legacy WPLocation 1.0.0 for Free 1.1.0 by selecting a current, licensed private GeoLite2 Country database before replacing the plugin.

== Installation ==
Install and activate this separate assistant while legacy Free 1.0.0 is active. Open Tools > WPLocation Upgrade. Back up first and use staging. Select a current GeoLite2 Country MMDB outside the public web root, or copy a recent licensed bundled file to a private directory. The original 2018 database is too old and is rejected. Keep the assistant active during the WordPress plugin replacement. Verify Diagnostics, rules and caches afterward, then deactivate the assistant.

The guard only runs when this assistant is active. Manual file replacement and third-party updaters may bypass it. Multisite migration is not supported. No database is bundled. DB-IP is not supported by Free 1.1.0 or this assistant.

== Changelog ==
= 1.0.0 =
* First website release for the Free 1.1.0 migration.
* Validate a current private GeoLite2 Country database before a standard WordPress update removes legacy files.
* Preserve rules and original data, and reject stale or public database paths.
