ACF Google Maps Radius Search

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers say it does exactly what it promises for distance based sorting, though it's built for developers and you'll need your own code to wire up the search fields.

   Works perfectly and can be used to create a radius based sorting function with custom post types. Thank you very much for this!!

   Plugin does what it says on the box. This is obviously aimed at developers. You’ll need to add your own code to add the other search fields and to get the location you are searching from. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by valerio_cas.

   Could you post example code of using this plugin. I’ve created the query string with the lat and lng variables, and I’m using the address acf field, but I don’t see how I’m suppose to get the list of locations sorted by their distance. Thanks.
