Biggest opportunity: Swap “activity” and “buddypress” for “xprofile” and “cycling”. “activity” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xprofile” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “buddypress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cycling” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 90 of 23.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

Everytime someones wants to post in the activity, it posts his position, this is not good for some members because it is showing their houses or or or.

Can’t add locations with the “&” symbol in the business name (chicken & rice) and it doesn’t add the location to the profile. Other than these issues, it does work.

I was Really sceptic on taking my chances with this, since I couldn’t find much reviews and around half of them were totally ditching. The reason I decided taking my chances after all was seeing that this has been updated only 9 months ago, with the most recent reviews from couple years ago. Setting the product up was as fluent as it could be. I only had to pick up my Google API, which is being used with other plugins too, and as I came to the activity page this was all ready. It found my location exact, the moment I landed the post section, and the only thing I then had to do was to write the beginning of the name or address of the location I wanted to share. That easily even the map was settled for the post I now published! Perfect, just perfect! ^^ Thank You! It’s a totally exclusive service for a free one!

Urgently needs to be updated to modern standards. Need capability to simply drag pin to our actual location. Auto-fill is nowhere near actual location in lesser developed countries This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by johnpurcam.

After setting up the plugin, and adding my api key, the plugin doesn’t work. When posting a status and clicking on the location icon I get a message saying “Please Wait..” but nothing happens after that. If this gets fixed in a future update I will adjust my review.
