Description

WP Geo is a WordPress plugin which enables you to easily attribute a location and map to a post or page.

If you experience any bugs with the plugin or have features you would like to suggest, please submit an issue on the WP Geo Google Project page.

Features

• NEW - Show post maps on category and archive pages.
• NEW - Set default width and height for maps.
  
• NEW - Shortcode [wp_geo_map] to add map within your post content.
• Select type of map; normal, satellite etc.
• Select wether maps appear at the top or bottom of posts (or not at all).
• Allows you to attribute a physical location to your post or page.
• To set a location for your post/page you can search for a location, click on the map or type in latitude and longitude coordinates manually.
• Integrated with Google Maps.
• Feature maps on category pages to show locations for category posts.
• Styled to fit seemlessly into the latest version of the WordPress admin.

Installation

1. Download the archive file and uncompress it.
2. Put the “wp-geo” folder in “wp-content/plugins”
3. Enable the plugin in WordPress by visiting the “Plugins” menu and activating it.
4. Go to the Settings page in the admin and enter your Google API Key and customise the settings.

(you can sign up for a Google API Key here)

WP Geo will appear on the edit post and edit page screens.
If you set a location, a Google map will automatically appear at the top of that post or page.

You can add a map you your category pages to which will display the locations of any posts within that category. Simply enter <?php WPGeo::categoryMap(); ?> into your category template where you would like the map to appear.

Upgrading

If upgrading from a previous version of the plugin:

1. Deactivate and reactivate the plugin to ensure any new features are correctly installed.
2. Visit the settings page after installing the plugin to customise any new options.
