Users can set their current location via the WordPress dashboard. A widget displays the location and the corresponding time (zone).

<p>Each user can save his/her current location and the corresponding time (zone). The information is stored as user meta data.</p>
<p>The Whereabouts widget displays the location and time (zone) of a specified user (select user in the widget options).</p>
<p>You can – of course – add multiple widgets to show more than one user/location.</p>
<h4>Dashboard-Widget</h4>
<p>Each user can comfortably set her/his current location directly on the WordPress dashboard.</p>
<h4>A little help from Google</h4>
<p>Activate the use of the Google Geocoding and Timezone API in the settings:</p>
<p>You can then use the browser’s geolocation API to determine your location, and the Plugin will automatically fetch the time zone of your whereabouts.</p>
<p>Want to use another location? Just type in a location name and the plugin will get all the relevant information for you.</p>
<p>You can also set the language in which the results of the api requests are returned.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 5.3</li>
<li>WordPress 3.9.2</li>
<li>In some modern browsers your website needs to have a working SSL-certificate in order to use the geolocation api.</li>
