Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I am about to embark on a long bike journey and wanted a way to post my location easily with no faff using my phone. This plugin does the job remarkably well. Jetpack app appears to strip the location data however you change the settings, but since the mobile browser experience for WordPress is so good now I just use that. You upload a Featured Image, write your post, Publish it and BINGO there is a little map at the bottom of the post. This is PERFECT for my needs. In addition, the support is responsive and friendly. Thanks Yann!

    Update 11.03.2023 Super plugin and great support. Many thanks for the quick help —- It is a very functional plugin. Since the last update, when the plugin is activated, the posts are displayed with the location, but the content of the pages is no longer displayed.The pages are then simply empty. pity This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by eikvH.

    A plugin that is easy to use and effective. Great support and under active development. Very promising as a light weight alternative to the bulkier solutions!

    It doesn’t work. After successful installation and Google Maps API key placement, there is a console log error saying that the latitude cannot be found. It looks like a bug. This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by antubis.

    Ich nutze das Plugin nun schon seit mehreren Jahren ohne Probleme. Die erste Sorge kam, als Google einen Key voraussetzte und scheinbar etwas an der API änderte. Der Yann reagierte zeitnah, sodass die Benutzung sorgenfrei weiter möglich war. Er reagiert sogar auf Mails und fixt Sachen auf privatem Weg. Sehr schön! 5* 👍👍👍👍👍 — I have been using the plugin for several years without any problems. The first concern came when Google assumed a key and apparently changed something in the API. The Yann responded promptly, so that the use was possible without worry. He even responds to emails and fixes things on a private way. Very nice! 5* 👍👍👍👍👍 — Vielen Dank Yann 🤝 Gruss Oliver

    This plugin works like a charm, also the support from Yann is very fast and good! I recommend this plugin to everyone who wants to show the location of where the post on your blog was written.
