Biggest opportunity: Swap “redirect” and “woocommerce” for “ip lookup” and “lookup”. “redirect” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ip lookup” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lookup” sits at #18 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 1K of 172.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 15 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.

Finally a way to slam the door on countries whose only goal is to hack.

I work with international customers and this plugin helps me a lot getting the local data.Tip: give some examples how to use the shortcodes and GEO Controller menu text does not explain it shows all the shortcodes. Try to think as a dummy. Makes it a lot easier to understand.Thanks anyway for your plugin dev.

I recently used the Geo Controller plugin, and I want to share my impressions. I want to note right away that I liked the flexibility of the settings that allow you to adapt the service to your needs. This is especially important when working with clients from different countries. The Geo Controller service provides a user-friendly interface for managing geographic data, which greatly simplifies working with international projects. Overall, I was satisfied with the service and recommend it to those who are looking for a reliable plugin to work with geographical data.

Always gives precise result. This is the best geo location plugin. I started with their free version and moved to a paid one. Thank you, team. keep it up.

First, the documentation should definitely improve: elements are missing, implementation is not as clear, same with options (i.e. can I use the original name? Like Firenze instead of Florence), etc. Lots can be done there. And it’s a bit annoying that it uses square brackets [ ] rather than curly {{ }}, because when you copy and paste, Gutenberg automatically converts the content to a shortcode, and this is no shortcode. Also, I live in London, but if I write include="London" it fails to recognise me because it believes my City is Westminster, which is rather the borough. The 1000 hits a day limit is not going to work for many: simply including the code in a post and testing it already consumed 54 hits (7 upon opening the settings page the first time). Anyway, the plugin does its job well. And I found that you can use it for more than just text: if you write a paragraph with [cfgeo include=""], then any amount of content in any Gutenberg block, and then close another paragraph with a [/cfgeo], the entire content gets managed by the plugin. So that’s great. If everything I noted above can be sorted out, it’s definitely a 5-star plugin. Ah, one more thing… Give an option to remove the content in the top admin bar, for those who find it unnecessary and annoying. Update: Ran out of the 1000 hits in just 1 week. Tested this on 1 old page on a very niche blog getting just about a dozen visitors a day (the page itself got only 2 visits in the period and the plugin is blocked on the other pages with Asset CleanUp), so obviously it’s not a real match and it seems miscoded on purpose to convince you to upgrade… Guess it’s not worth using this instead of other plugins then, unless you really need it and have the money. Downgraded from 3 stars to 1. This topic was modified 2 years ago by koandj. Reason: report after 1 week usage

Thought I would give this a try. Documentation was not clear to know whether you adding countries to block or adding countries to allow. I tried both ways, but neither choice blocked me when attempting to view our site through a VPN.. There are complete sections missing from to documentation.

Wonderful experience with the free version. I love their Geo Banner feature that shows country-wise banners correctly even on cached posts/pages. Country-wise redirection, country flag support, and anti-spam support are the cherry on the cake! 🍒🍰 This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by Laxmikant Bhumkar.
