Attach geographic location metadata to any post.

Description

GeoTagr lets you attach geographic coordinates, a place name, and a formatted address to any post. It provides a block editor sidebar panel and a classic editor metabox, both with an interactive Leaflet map. Geocoding is handled by your choice of Nominatim (free, no key required), Google Places, or Mapbox.

Installation

1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/geotagr.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings → GeoTagr to configure post types, taxonomy visibility, and your geocoding provider.

Changelog

0.6.3

• Security: Google API key no longer sent to the browser when using the Google geocoding provider.
• Fix: Google forward geocoding now returns results correctly (broken since v0.6.0 array response change).
• Fix: Classic editor strings are now translatable via __().
• Fix: ESLint configuration migrated to flat config required by @wordpress/scripts 32.x.
• Fix: Classic editor metabox saves lat/lng as float, matching the REST API save path.
• Add: Geo meta changes made by external callers (e.g. REST API writes) now sync the location taxonomy automatically.

0.6.2

• Fix: Location Name block now loads correctly on live sites — block.json path updated to the compiled build directory.

0.6.1

• Fix: Forward geocode now uses the Places API (New) with an optional user-supplied location bias, preventing server IP from skewing results on hosted environments.

0.6.0

• Change: Geocode proxy now returns up to 5 candidate results instead of a single result.

0.5.0

• Add: Location Name block (geotagr/location-name) — displays the place name attached to a post; renders nothing when no location is set.

0.4.0

• Add: Nominatim, Google Places, and Mapbox geocoding providers — configurable from Settings.
• Add: Per-provider API key instructions with visibility toggle in the Settings page.
• Add: Server-side REST proxy for Google Places, keeping the API key out of the browser.
• Fix: Mapbox POI subtype handling (poi.landmark and similar) now correctly populates the place name.
• Fix: Whitespace normalisation applied before sending any geocoding query.

0.3.0

• Add: Settings page — configure which post types show the metabox and whether the Geo Tags taxonomy is public.
• Add: Geo Tags taxonomy synced automatically from post geo coordinates.

0.2.0

• Add: Location taxonomy (geo_tagr_location) with automatic term sync on save.

0.1.0
