Biggest opportunity: Add “geocode”, “googlemap” and “googlemaps” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #15 and #15 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed these are the slots worth spending.

At least 10K of 142.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| map acf openstreetmap leaflet your tag | #3 | #3 | up 1 |
| geocode | #7 | #5 | down 1 |
| openstreetmap | #16 | #15 | down 2 |
| googlemap | #15 | #6 | 0 |
| googlemaps | #15 | #6 | up 1 |
| openweathermap | #23 | #6 | up 1 |

What to do about it
- Add “geocode”, “googlemap” and “googlemaps” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #15 and #15 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 10K.

I cannot understand why OSM was not addressed in ACF by default from the outset.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ neoset1.6y ago
Can’t give 6 stars?This field has solved the only problem I had in my project, a must if you don’t want to depend on google maps.Simply awesome.Thank you very much for your work.

Thank you! Been looking for an ACF replacement for Google Maps for a long time… not sure why it took me so long to find this. A pretty painless replacement with no hassles about keys and credit cards. OSM looks beautiful as always.

I feel dumb, I’d like to use that plugin with ACF and Enfold theme, but I just can’t make it work. I haven’t find either a step by step guide to help me to sort it out. The only support I found is on that page: docs.acfviews.com display-content/meta-fields/advanced-fields/acf-openstreetmap-field until it is written: “Paste the shortcode into place.” What shortcode? What place? That doesn’t say. I have copied the php code (<?php the_field('my_field_name'); ?>) in my function.php child theme as well…. still nothing. Not so easy for non developers. Just need a walk-through tutorial… 😉 This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by ucan74.

This plugin gives a perfect way to replace google maps by openstreetmap in ACF.OpenStreetMap is so much better for GDPR.Also, with the UNCODE theme, I had issues with ACF Google Map field in a situation.

If you want to use ACF maps field and don’t have a credit card, this is the way to go! I’m using a grid to facet locations on a map, and this plugin is just what I needed, I really appreciate the creators of this amazing tool.
