@param string skipCache	if 'true': Do not cache value (optional)
@param int squared	     Instead of being 4:3, the flag should be 1:1 in ratio
@param string class 	 Extra CSS Class of element. All flags will have the class `flag-icon` anyway.
@param string default 	 Default Country in case the visitor's country cannot be determined

If you want to style all flags:

.flag-icon { margin-top: 4px !important; }

(since 3.3.0)

[geoip_detect2_enqueue_javascript]

Where can I use these shortcodes?

It works in a post or page content, but not in a title. If you use it in your theme, use do_shortcode().

It doesn’t work. Why?

Check the HTML to see error messages that are commented out (<!-- ... -->).
