Geocoded posts

The mobile editor app for WordPress has an option to automatically geocode all the posts.
This works great but doesn’t really allow for easy editing or show this information on for instance a map.

Current features:

• Editing the location provided by the mobile app from the post edit screen.
• Showing a widget with the latest x (configurable number) posts that have a geolocation (loads async).
• Automatically looking up the locality of a new post.
• Exposing a ‘geo’ object for each post in the REST api with ‘latitude’, ‘longitude’ and ‘locality’.
• Posts from the mobile app connected through wordpress.com get the geo_public set automatically.

Things that are on my wish list are:

• Manually bulk geocoding old posts.
• Displaying the geocoded posts on a map with a shortcode or something.

Notes

1. If you like the plugin buy me a beer
2. Something wrong with this plugin? Report issue on Github

For development we use Github in combination with Grunt for easier deployment. If you run npm install and grunt build in the cloned repository it will produce a build folder. This folder contains all the files needed to run the plugin.

Installing this plugin is really easy.

Just search in the WordPress plugin directory for ‘Geocoded posts’.
Or download it right from Github and copy the geocoded-posts directory to wp-content/plugins/.
