Biggest opportunity: “country ip”, “geoip” and “gravityforms” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 7.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,782 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| geodetection your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| country ip your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| geoip your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravityforms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “country ip”, “geoip” and “gravityforms” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

This extension to Geo my WordPress was exactly what we were looking for and provides very flexible ways to enable geolocation on the front end. I needed assistance with a usage beyond the core of the plugin and the author was extremely helpful.

This little plugin provides a great add on to the gravity forms system allowing country and city to be extracted from the IP address. I use this now on all of my forms in hidden fields to automatically assign leads to the correct salesperson and to also identify SPAM leads coming from Russia or other countries where we don’t operate. Using gravity forms conditions, you can even stop form submissions being passed to your CRM or even saving in the WP database. Great job.

Thought I would be review #2, as David deserves acknowledgement for this. The sparse documentation is somewhat unclear and would likely confuse a few folks, so it would be good to clarify that the key dependency plug in is the YellowTree (Benjamin Pick) GeoIP Detection, which can be found here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/ That’s the plugin that interacts with the Maxmind GeoIP2 free lookup table. David’s work here is super handy for picking up the country/city (or just the IP address if the city is intentionally obscured) on user submissions of Gravity Forms. Simple, does one thing as stated and thus far (still testing with WP 5.0) appears not to cause any conflicts 5 stars Good stuff David.
