ELEX WooCommerce Address Validation & Google Address Autocomplete Plugin

Older reviewers loved the easy setup and the country filtering, but the two most recent low ratings flag a translation loading error and a flat "didn't help", so the recent run is worse than the earlier one.

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

70 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 45 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Crossed into this band 8 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 65% of the way through.

   I evaluated a number of comparable plugins and this was my preferred one. I did encounter a minor conflict with a custom checkout shipping field from some 3rd party code. The support guys were great and soon got a new version out which resolved the issue. Recommended.

   Error: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the address-validation-address-auto-complete domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.)+

   This would have to be one of the best plugins for autocomplete address fields. I love the ability to choose which countries you want to display as most other plugin, when you start typing the street name often Chinese locations start to appear first where with this plugin you can choose what you want to display. I will most likely end up getting the paid version with the extra features. Love the ability to be able to validate addresses as well.

   Arguably the MOST critical part of an ecommerce website is the delivery address. After three years of having ~1% of my orders get returned to center due to an incorrect or undeliverable address from the customer I finally found this plugin. Installation was ridiculously easy, with the most difficult part being figuring out how to get the proper Google API key (Elex does a good job documenting, it’s just a funky UI from Google). If that wasn’t good enough, I immediately had a question about customizing the plugin (the second street address would be automatically populated with a neighborhood value if available from Google, and I wanted it to stay blank). I sent the developer an email, and to my shock they had a modified .zip in my inbox ~6 hours later that works exactly as I’d described to them. All in all, excellent solution for an extremely important problem for any ecommerce site. Wish I’d found this 3 years ago!
