Biggest opportunity: Swap “posts location” for “mapping”. “posts location” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “mapping” sits at #21 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 3K of 359.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 647 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search 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 7 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “posts location” for “mapping”. “posts location” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “mapping” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Under-ranked on “store locator”. wp.org puts you #22; on merit you place #11. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- One page off on “locations directory”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin works… Sometimes. I was experiencing an issue when using the search form to load locations; the distance and address fields kept randomly disappearing in the results list for no apparent reason. Everything has been configured correctly, however, I couldn’t diagnose the cause due to support not responding to my ticket. Their auto-responder says they will get back to you within 24-48 hours. It has been well over the time period with no response at all. I’ve been reading the reviews, and I’m sure the dev will respond here, stating their “ticket service” is down or something similar. Look, I understand being busy, especially if you are the sole person responding to tickets. I have been there. That being said, why say you’ll have “one of” your support specialists reach out to me, when it’s clear it’s one person responding to tickets? If you truly have a team, why hasn’t a single one responded to my follow-up emails? In my mind, that is way worse. I have since issued a full refund. Still waiting on a response from this as well. We’ll see how long it takes. The refund policy is 14 days. Hopefully, they respond in that timeframe and honor the refund if they don’t. I will follow up after 14 days. The only reason I am giving this plugin 2 stars is because it kinda works. However, if you have any conflicting plugins, even ones that the plugin author states will be compatible, it may not. You’ll also need at least some knowledge of HTML/CSS to customize the form to your liking. Which isn’t the worst thing ever. Just thought people should be aware. Using shortcodes to implement the form isn’t the most ideal for me, so I have since switched to another plugin. I hope the author doesn’t take this personally and uses critiques such as this one to improve in the future.

I had a fairly difficult task to integrate this plugin data, with gravity forms, custom post type, and a custom meta field through ACF. And the support walked me through what was needed to get it working. Plugin works great, and the support was even better!

We have been looking for a good WordPress plugin that combines the map functionality with a filter option for a long time. It was particularly important for us to be able to enter a radius for each hit, as we list coaches on our website who sometimes only drive a certain radius to their clients. GEO my WP has many other useful functions and can be easily expanded with plugins. For example, it is also possible to include individual fields in the filter. The look and feel is great and everything has worked smoothly so far. The entire appearance can be individualized with custom CSS. The support is great and responded to our support questions in a friendly, competent and easy-to-understand manner within a very short time. All in all, a top plugin that we are happy to recommend 🙂

Replied to my email which was needed to fix ASAP and said sorry my support system had issue. You should not bring your plugin in the market, if you can’t see emails. I email on the support email as well as on the site’s support ticket system.

Free version not working. Basic function of being able to add a location tp posts does not work because the ‘Save Location’ button freezes. Other geolocation plugin instructions to setup API key worked first time. Directions given by Geo my WP simply do not work.
