WP Map Block – Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Store & Shop Locator, Directory, Listings & Filters

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Since 1.4.10 the custom icon feature is broken. Since 2.0.0 it is adware.

   It used to be a good, lightweight plugin, but now it’s part of aBlocks and shows giant ad for aBlocks everywhere.

   Simply setup, easy adding new markers, functional and actually you save a loooot of time by not defining new tokens etc.. It works immediately! The only problem is that the markers are not precise when the zoom is not at the maximum level. Zooming out and the marker goes in different position (lower). (tested in firefox, edge and in the plugin website example map. (I have google for solution/workaround but no luck. Hopefully I’m mistaken or to hear about a solution/workaround soon.
