Ip2location plugin in my template header?

I am using Ip2location plugin to pull state data based on Ip address into my post.

This is easy you install the plugin and then just use {ip:regionName} in the post or page editor.

But I want to print this information in my template header file right beside the title

is this possible and if so how do I go about this?

This is how the header php looks like in the template

        ?php

$def_header_text = esc_html__( 'This is Header Media Text.', 'cleanportfolio' );

if ( current_user_can( 'edit_theme_options' ) ) {
    $def_header_text .= 'nbsp;' . esc_html__( 'Edit this from Appearance - Customize - Header Media - Header Media Text.', 'cleanportfolio' );
}

$header_media_text = get_theme_mod( 'cleanportfolio_header_media_text', $def_header_text );

if ( is_front_page()  ( has_custom_header() || '' !== $header_media_text ) ) : ?
    div class="custom-header"
        ?php
        if ( has_custom_header() ) : ?
            div class="custom-header-media"
                ?php the_custom_header_markup(); ?
            /div
        ?php endif; ?

        div class="custom-header-content sections header-media-section"
        ?php if ( '' !== $header_media_text ) : ?
            h2 class="section-title"?php echo esc_html( $header_media_text ); ?/h2
        ?php endif; ?
        /div
        ?php if ( ! has_custom_header() ) : ?
            div class="square"?php echo cleanportfolio_get_svg( array(
                'icon' = 'square',
            ) ); ?span class="screen-reader-text"?php esc_html_e( 'Square', 'cleanportfolio' ); ?/span/div
        ?php endif; ?

    /div!-- .custom-header --

this is how ip2location says to use there service in PHP

I'm assuming you're using "IP2Location Tag Wordpress Plugin".

In main file of IP2Location plugin, the class instance is created and assigned to the variable.

$ip2location_tags = new IP2LocationTags();

To use the plugin in theme, just use the global variable $ip2location_tags. Remember to make sure that the class IP2LocationTags exists first and use global keyword.

if (class_exists('IP2LocationTags')) {
    global $ip2location_tags;
    $location = $ip2location_tags->get_location('IP_ADDRESS');
}

The plugin sets the IP address in this way (in parse_content method):

$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) && filter_var($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE | FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE)) {
    $ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}

Keys in the location data table:

ipAddress,
countryCode,
countryName,
regionName,
cityName,
latitude,
longitude,
isp,
domainName,
zipCode,
timeZone,
netSpeed,
iddCode,
areaCode,
weatherStationCode,
weatherStationName,
mcc,
mnc,
mobileCarrierName,
elevation,
usageType,

In functions.php file add function:

if ( !function_exists( 'ip2loc_get_region' ) ) {
    function ip2loc_get_region() {
        global $ip2location_tags;

        if ( !class_exists('IP2LocationTags') )
            return '';

        $ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) && filter_var($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE | FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE)) {
            $ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
        }

        $location = $ip2location_tags->get_location($ip_address);
        if ( !$location )
            return '';

        return $location['regionName'];
    }
}

File header.php:

<?php

$def_header_text = esc_html__( 'This is Header Media Text.', 'cleanportfolio' );

if ( current_user_can( 'edit_theme_options' ) ) {
    $def_header_text .= '&nbsp;' . esc_html__( 'Edit this from Appearance - Customize - Header Media - Header Media Text.', 'cleanportfolio' );
}

$header_media_text = get_theme_mod( 'cleanportfolio_header_media_text', $def_header_text );

if ( is_front_page() && ( has_custom_header() || '' !== $header_media_text ) ) : ?>

    <?php // text to display
    $region_name = " " . ip2loc_get_region(); ?>

    <div class="custom-header">
        <?php
        if ( has_custom_header() ) : ?>
            <div class="custom-header-media">
                <?php the_custom_header_markup(); ?>
            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <div class="custom-header-content sections header-media-section">

        <?php if ( '' !== $header_media_text ) : ?>
            <h2 class="section-title"><?php echo esc_html( $header_media_text ) . esc_html($region_name); ?></h2>
        <?php endif; ?>

        </div>
        <?php if ( ! has_custom_header() ) : ?>
            <div class="square"><?php echo cleanportfolio_get_svg( array(
                'icon' => 'square',
            ) ); ?><span class="screen-reader-text"><?php esc_html_e( 'Square', 'cleanportfolio' ); ?></span></div>
        <?php endif; ?>

    </div><!-- .custom-header -->
