Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce” for “city”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “city” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.4%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 45.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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.

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.

It’s a very good plugin, but must be updated for latest wp version. My website is loading very slow. I deactivate the plugin and works fine. I use it with woocommerce. Please update the plugin!

I want to add district dropdown base on the option value of city. because in your code you just get the option name as option value. i want to make it like country and states thats have a option value code. thank you!

This plugin does exactly what you need it to do. It adds a list of cities based on country/region. Handles all of the front-end stuff for you, and does so very simply. Note: this plugin is probably best used by people who know a minimum of the basics of theme editing. If you’re a pure user with no dev skills, find yourself a dev and ask them to implement it for you. If you don’t find your country, you can easily create a file to handle it. May I recommend that since the author is giving away the plugin for free, if you’re going to add a non-included country anyway, why not submit it to github so that he may add it to his next update? https://github.com/8manos/wc-city-select This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by frankmarion.

I use this plugin in order to limit the cities that can be selected. Works very well and cleverly coded.
