Meta Fields Geolocation

Update GEO my WP's locations via meta fields.

Enhance GEO my WP with Meta Fields Geolocation

Do you need a seamless way to add and manage locations dynamically using WordPress front-end forms or custom functions? Want to sync custom fields with GEO my WP for better location management? Meta Fields Geolocation is the perfect solution for integrating location-based data into your WordPress site.


What Is Meta Fields Geolocation?

The Meta Fields Geolocation extension enables you to sync specific meta fields, such as post custom fields and user meta fields, with GEO my WP. As a result, whenever an address is added or modified anywhere on your site, automatic geolocation updates take place.

Whether the update happens through a front-end form, a custom field input, a user profile update, or a custom function, GEO my WP will instantly geocode the new address and update its location database. Similarly, if the meta field is deleted, the corresponding location data is also removed.

With this seamless integration, both site admins and users can manage locations dynamically. You can do this through custom fields, front-end forms, or custom functions—either alongside or as an alternative to GEO my WP’s default location form.
