API KEY for Google Maps

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

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 · 92% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   followed the easy instructions and checked on the mapfix.dev page and says it can’t find api key or api calls but there is no help to fix it, so not sure what this plugin is supposed to do.

   We’ve had an issue with a particular theme having something wrong with their theme settings, which resulted in the section for the API key missing. I installed this plugin and it did the job. Super easy and quick!

   It works. Nice! Had to create a new project and to enable billing for it before the map showed. Thanks.

   This was extremely easy to use and is a much better alternative than trying to work with a theme author to add a Google Maps API Key option to their theme. This plugin gives you a link to setup your new API key. Once configured, simply copy, paste, and save.
