- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

Estimated value
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. annual revenue
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.

In general it is awesome. It works most of the time as it should. The only issue that coordinates from google maps are off a little bit so need to adjust manually. The plugin seemed broken with the new version of WordPress 6.8.1, but re-installing the plugin from scratch seems solved the issue. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by saganas.

used to be awesome, but now I can’t get the widget to show clickable links to my posts anymore, and that was the best benefit of this plugin for me.

I find this plugin very powerful and flexible, and it cnado most of what I want. the wpgeo_map_js_preoverlays hook is especially helpful in getting overlays to display. I wish there were a way to pass post data in to the preoverlays hooks, so as to customize the overlays for particular maps or post categories. Still, pretty awesome.

Google Maps API V3 using is a bit confusing, but it seems that you don’t need it to get it work…

very useful plugin for travel blogs. Multiple geo taging on one post would be very good.
