The plugin was working fine until the most recent version of Wordpress updated. This plugin is currently not compatible with Wordpress. One device that I used showed that my location was 100 miles away in the north west direction, while another showed it was 100 miles south. I would like to keep using this plugin, but I need an update fast. I was pitching businesses yesterday with a website demo and the location was not correct.

Does the job, without troubles ! – All other plugins were so complicated to do such a small task. I know it’s not super turbo equiped with trackings, but it is simple and effective. 5 stars to that !
