Biggest opportunity: Swap “leaflet”, “map pin” and “open source map” for “ie”, “multiple markers” and “street”. “leaflet” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “ie” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map pin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “multiple markers” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “open source map” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “street” sits at #14 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 →6.7%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 29.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “leaflet”, “map pin” and “open source map” for “ie”, “multiple markers” and “street”. “leaflet” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “ie” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map pin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “multiple markers” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “open source map” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “street” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “map pin”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “open source map”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Need to display a map, add pins, add links to posts and pages internal and external? Want an image instead of a pin. Want to do it with ease? Chandni has written something so comprehesive and simple my labrador could use it… and frequently does.

Cant get this to work. Map never appears on page with shortcode. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by WillOfTheWeb.

Been stuck for a while looking for non google plugin, that would work properly. This one matched my simple need for displaying a single map properly, Idea for upgrade: add a possibility to create a ticker with image inside it

This plugin does almost everything I need – a straightforward way to add a map with pins that link to relevant urls.

Chandni went above and beyond to sort out a conflict with the theme I use. Plugin working brilliantly now. Delighted I don’t have to worry about APIs now. Thank you for this great plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ emkel6.8y ago
I tried some solutions, but this is the best. Most notably because the address search delivers very, very good and precise results. Very useful if you want to set many markers. But a real “bulk” solution, so that the “list” in the backend does not become so long, would be even better. Also the possibility to switch the final result – the finished map – to full screen would have brought a 5th star from me…
