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.

“Unable to process payment. Please contact the merchant as the shipping address provided by the merchant is invalid, and the merchant has requested that your order must be shipped to that address.”

PayPal’s technical team are working to resolve the issue…
