Welcome to GEO my Wp - the new face and the new home of WordPress Places Locator plugin. This is the initial release of GEO my WP but the continuous version of WordPress Places Locator. This version comes with new features which the main one is integration with Buddypress and a premium version with even more awesome features is soon to be released. So now, since the plugin let you add location and search for not only post types but also for members i have decided to give it a new name.
I have made a great number of changes and improvements in the front end, backend and behind the scenes. The first change to notice is the backend. Works smother, more stylish and user friendly. every feature and setting is now documented within the back end. Other features and settings added that will let you more control on the search forms and results.
Buddypress - once you turn on the feature (add-ons page) a new "location" tab will be added to the member's profile page. The location tab includes an address form for the logged in user and the map and address of the member's location when visiting his profile. for members, adding a location is as simple as filling up the address form.
Now when creating a search form shortcode you can choose between "post types" search form or Buddypress search form. You will have the same setting for Buddypress search form such as to choose the profile fields , address field title( new ), radius values, units. and for the results you can show/hide avatar and its height/width, distance, driving distance, get directions link and more.
in the main settings you can now choose if turn on/off the auto locator that get the user's current location when he first visits the site. Auto display results near user's location when first visiting a search page, theme color , choose the locator icon or add your own and more.....
Update - If you have never used WordPress places locator before all you need to do is install the plugin and use. If you have WordPress places locator install right now so please remove it from the plugins folder into a safe place as a backup and install GEO my WP. The only things you'll might have to worry about are the settings and the shortcodes. you will have to go and save the new settings and the short codes again. As for the data and locations , everything will stay the same. you wont lose any of it.
